mahuti:

Just got mine in the mail today. When I get the RGB-drives, I'll install and post some pics.

I'll post some first impressions later today.

XtraSmiley:

OK, excuse my laziness, but what would I need to get some buttons lit?

1.  New pushbuttons of course.
2.  What else?

I'm just looking to build a panel for my computer that has a joystick and 8 buttons.  I'd like the buttons to light up when clicked.  Can you give me the dummy explanation of what I need to buy and how hard it will be?

Also, will I be able to power it off of my USB port on my computer, or is this only good for using in full cabs that can drive more power?

Thanks man, and great job on the parts, you are a true arcade lovers hero.  Keep up the good work.

XtraSmiley;

1. of course
2. generic LEDs to shove up in the pushbuttons.
or
2. 1 RGB-drive pushbutton lighting module per button you want
3. if you want them solid on, you could wire them up to a keyboard encoder's power with a few resistors.
or
3. Buy the ledwiz lighting board from GGG.

The full setup, buttons, RGB-Drive, and led-wiz will set you back abouit $100 for an average set of lights.

Well worth it as far as I'm concerned. :D

XtraSmiley:

Well worth it indeed, but will I be able to power it all via USB or is this a full cab only thing?  (which isn't a problem as I'll have another MAME cab down the road a bit) but this is for my small desktop, USB controller.

FYI I used super Bright LED's in my existing standard buttons. Worked for me. :-)
