Yep, between RandyT, Myself, Ponyboy, Bob Roberts (Translucent Leaf Switch Buttons), etc... There's a good variety of buttons to light up now.

I must give props to RandyT, talk about a plug-and-play solution!  :D
mahuti:
just to clarify, no disrespect to the other button guys. I like the variety... and I do like the idea of havign colred buttons even when the lights are off.

If your time is worth nothing... go with one of the other solutions. I can tell you that the GGG led stuff is fantastic. Well worth the price, (imho).

I'm willing to spend the $$ on the Electric-Ice with the RGB-Drive, but here's my concern; even if I only want to light the buttons one color, I still need to use 3 inputs per button which limits the number of buttons I can uniquely control with the LEDWiz. Ideally I'd like to uniquely control 16 buttons with two colors (say red and blue). I don't think a single LEDWiz can handle that. Or am I missing something?

Actually, you can do exactly that.  16x2 equals 32, which just happens to be the number of outputs on the LED-Wiz.

And you won't just have 2 colors.  Theoretically, it'll be more like 2304 colors (limited by the 2 colors you select.)

MikeQ already has a DLL for up to 16 LED-Wiz's. A simple app using this DLL affords possibilities of up to 170 individually controlled RGB LEDs, but that's a lot of wires and LED-Wiz's!

mahuti:
if you wanted, you could use one wire per rgb-drive.... for 32 separate leds. If you only used 1 of the wires per rgb-drive, you'd only have a choice of intensity variations of red, blue, green... if you wire up 2 of the wires, then you have choices of variations of red-blue, blue-green, red-green, on a given button.
