What is the point of lighting your controls?

RetroBorg:

I would like the bling of lit buttons for attract modes, knowing which button are applicable to the game I selected and in some games where you have limited use of a button e.g. Defender, have the smart bomb button turn off when there are no bombs remaining.

Having said that they seem so expensive and after reading that members here don't like the feel of them I don't think I'll bother buying any now.

For me personally it was the bling route. Theres many advantages as some stated on here which is mainly for instance having whatever front end your using to light up only the controls that are usable in mame and what not.

Once set up correctly its a really nice investment, but I admit its more of luxury then a necessity really. Although I'll never regret making the change.
One day I'll have to replace the 4 way joy and start buttons though.



Plus the fact that your no longer limited to a single color as you have a much wider range of colors to use.

As far as the feel compared to happs or comp pushbuttons I noticed s slight difference but some of the people who have played on mine noticed it actually felt nicer with the led buttons then competition pushbuttons. I guess its just up to the individual person to determine which is best in the end. :)

Visitor Q:

I think it looks great and I like the idea of the buttons lighting up for what needs to be used.

I plan on it for my CP.
