I know they are not in the UK but you could get some clear or coloured translucent buttons from arcadeshop.de > Link You can then LED light the buttons.

You could get a PacDrive from Ultimarc to drive the LEDs > Link

I am from the UK too and have bought parts from GGG, Ultimarc and arcadeshop.de with no problems.

If you are going to buy an LED controller you may want to take the following into consideration:

GGG LED Wiz:

• 32 controllable Outputs
• Can only control 5v devices (fine for LEDs)
• Has 48 levels of controllable light intensity (you can get the lights to fade rather than just flash on/off)
• Is more expensive ($45 = approx £23+shipping and possible import taxes depending on the size of your order.)

Ultimarc PacDrive:

• 16 controllable outputs
• Can only control devices up to 48v (external PSU needed for devices over 5v)
• Can only turn LEDs on/off (you cant get the lights to fade)
• Is slightly cheaper £18.47 + postage.

GGG also offer the LED-Wiz+GP > Link which is a 16 port LED controller combined with a 16 input gaming interface.

Yes, you'll also need software to light up the buttons based on the game. For this, there are a number of options which depend on the hardware you go with (LEDWiz/PACDrive/UHID/other), the FE you prefer, and what LED features you want. For example, if you want to stick with a UK vendor, then the PACDrive or UHID may be your choice. The PACDrive is supported by a plugin for GameEx or using LEDBlinky (my app) which is FE independent. The GGG LEDWiz is also supported by multiple FEs and software utilities.

ive orders a uhid since i want to use trackball,i know its got led part built in so will use that,
but for my other machine i will get ggg's one and some good buttons to use with it.

i will look at the apps mentioned, i just want something easy to configure and set up.

LEDBlinky and GameEx should support the U-HID in the near future. As for easy to configure and setup, typically the more features an app has, the more complex the config - but there's always this forum to help you out .
