i think i want the buttons with the rgb-drive(the $5.20ish option) but i' like to use ponyboy's leaf switches...

Yes, all items are available separately at the store.  You'll want the RGB drives as well as the Plain EI buttons.  There is no price difference.

ok...so i'm about to pull the trigger...i just want to confirm i haven't missed anything...

and just to verify...the keyboard can only be used when the switch on the keywiz is switched to 'keyboard' correct...?

thanks...!

MYX:
15 RGB Drives will give you 45 output needs from the LEDWiz. There are only 32 outputs on the LEDWiz.
Plus you have to figure for amperage loss. If you fully load the LEDWiz you will also need a +5v power supply from the same PS as the computer. The USB Can not handle this much draw.
Kaytrim:
The U360 joysticks have their own encoders and will connect via USB.  You can also connect them to the keywiz but you loose the mapping ability that makes those sticks so special.  If you want to use the U360 sticks to their full capability you will need to connect them via USB.

Two questions...  ???
Why are you wanting a Magstick along with the two U360s?
How many USB ports does your motherboard have?

I would suggest that you wait a bit before you make your purchase.  Randy is about ready to release a new joystick that could be in competition with the U360.  These joysticks would use a card that could possibly replace the keywiz you are planning on using.  I don't have all the information on this card so I may be completely wrong.  It may not be able to handle all the buttons you have planned.  But I do know that the new card should be able to handle two of his new joysticks.  See this thread for more information.  ;D

oh...i wasn't planning on putting the u360s through the keywiz...i guess i put them there to show what joysticks i was going to be using...sorry for the confusion...

my mb has four external usb ports...

i was thinking of the magstick for two reasons...
a) so i could have a physically restricted 4-way...
b) so i could have a joystick a little closer to the center of the cp...

so i would have to get two ledwiz devices in order to  have more than ten buttons controlled...?

and it's simple enough to have the ledwiz externally powered right...?

i like the idea of having the tt2 slave to the trackball...i suppose if i have compatibility issues i could always order the encoder board for the spinner...

thanks for the continuing discussion... :applaud:
