Hehe.  That little LED is gonna catch on fire the first time you press the button.  Your pictures show it hooked to the 12v line with no current limiting resistor :).

I know the person playing isn't going to be looking at the buttons but people watching someone play will.  Image fighting game combos where you can watch the buttons light up.  Lets face it if there is no point to making illuminated buttons then there is no point in putting artwork on your cab or painting it.

THANK YOU.  I rest my case :)

Honestly though, there are illuminated pushbuttons........ who says you shouldnt use them in-game? :)

I know it looks that way, but brian23 wanted a circuit for a 12V LED with internal current limitation.  I suppose you could use flash bulbs if you want...

Why would I ever want to express manhood?  The concept disgusts me.

That's the spirit.  Now design an arcade interface for a robotic vacuum.
