Lighted Pushbuttons
pezkore:
I am currently constructing a custom Golden Tee panel...i have decided that i am going to probably get a custom overlay for the panel b/c i am not going to be using the standard white trackball and white buttons. Its a GT 99...i am going to used an LED lit Green translucent ball, and i hope to use translucent lit pushbuttons as well. My question is- is there somewhere where i can buy pre wired lit pushbuttons, like normal pushbuttons not the lighted ones that Happ sells. Also, are the lighted buttons that happ sells sufficient? are they any good, is there a difference? Thanks.

there is a thread or 3 about using superbright LED's to light up buttons. use the Search feature or browse through the first couple of pages inthis forum and you should see it.

I have read those, I am just lazy as hell and i want to know if there are any that are sold that come wired with an LED so i wont have to do it...i pay the extra 5 bucks or whatever to have that done for me b/c i am only buying 3 buttons....plus, any opinons on Happs lighted pushbuttons vs. using translucent LED lit regular pushbuttons?
pezkore:
Ok, i realize that it is quite lame to respond to my own posts...but at this point my only concern is the performance difference between the Happ lighted pushbuttons and the translucent underlit pushbuttons, like in Ampappa's cab here http://ajmmame.webajm.com/Controls.htm. Has anyone tried using the happ lighted pushbuttons, and if so, is there a difference?

My guess is that you would not like the feel of the Happs lighted buttons for game play. The bezel shape would intrude into your physical space much more than regular PBs and you would probably have a completely different feel. The translucent buttons on the cab example that you game are arcade type PBs and would have a better feel then the Happs lighted buttons.
