I know the person playing isn't going to be looking at the buttons but people watching someone play will. but the player's hand'll be in the way! Image fighting game combos where you can watch the buttons light up. i know...i made that point in my post...sort of. but as i just said, the player's hand will be obstructing most of the view of all the pretty flashing. it's been a few years since i've played arcades, but i know people don't hold their hands in the air, fingers pointed straight down punching the buttons like piano hammers. my whole deal is, thinking logically, it just doesn't seem worth the trouble, especially since most people want to see all the pretty sparkling most of the time, not just for fleeting moments, when hands are concealing most of the fireworks anyway. no need for everyone to go nuts on me! now...having the button light go OFF for every press...now that's original! i think. |

If you want the light to go out when it is pressed, that's even easier. Just use the NC contacts of the microswitch. But what would really be neat is a fade effect. Press the button and it goes out. Release it, and it fades back to full brightness in half a second. Hmmm..... |
