Light Blue Buttons

Hi all, first post so go easy on me! I have built a cab (thanks to evryone I took ideas from on the board!), I am now putting my CP together.

I would like to source some light blue coloured buttons. I have found ball top joysticks that have a 'duck egg' blue replacement top which is great, but no buttons to match.

I have considered clear with led effect, but when the led's are off it will look white, not ideal.

Anyone know where I can source these (I am connecting to an I-pac)?

I dont know where you are located but you can get clear blue push buttons from arcadeshop.de

[This] is the link to them.


You may also be able to purchase them from elsewhere, im sure someone will chime in.



To light them you will need to drill la hole in the bottom of them (5mm if you are using 5mm LEDs obv) and then you can push the LED into the hole.

To power them you can either use a wire from a PC PSU (either 5v or 12v with the correct resistors) or you can use a product like the LED Wiz (again using the correct resistor) although you can get LEDs that already have resistors wired to them for use with 5v or 12v.

The LEDs I use are 13000MCD 5mm blue superbrights, you can get them very cheaply from ebay. [These] are the ones I use.

Check out the Sanwa blue buttons.  They might be close to what you're looking for.  Lizardlick has them for sale, I have them on my cab in fact.



Franco:

Oh yeah, I dont know what joysticks you are using but you can get blue ball tops from arcadeshop.de (and also lizardlick I believe).

And if you really want to go to town you can use my guide [HERE] to light them.  ;)

AKK! i wish I had known of a place to get light blue ones! My color scheme would have been totally different! I was planning on a black cab with light blue top 3 buttons and dark blue bottom four buttons, but ultimarc only has darkish blue buttons, so I went with top 3 orange, bottom 3 red, and the 7th button blue to match the estick blue I ordered... Oh well, live and learn... I could always change out buttons...
