Yeah I always get stung ordering from GGG to the UK (though its no fault of GGGs). I end up paying ~15% extra plus £25 'handling' charge from ParcelFarce, sorry Force. The £:$ doesnt help at the moment either but It's just the price you have to pay for bling :) |

Have a look using the link I have to my Arcade PC, here below. --- End quote --- Kman, you got the Electric Ice w/ the RGB right? Did you replace the side ones (pushbuttons)also? See I am thinking of doing the same and also having the trackball to light up... But I was told that i would probley have to get 2 led wiz... When you hooked up yours, did you use all the hookups or did you have any to spare ( on the led-wiz)? What was the total list that you got from Randy? (on a side note, thanks Kman...your tutorial on keyboard hacking helped me out alot!) |

njay.... Double check on what you need...I was told differently...I also have a x-arcade tankstick and i was told that ( by arzoo) if i wanted to have RGBs for pushbuttons and also RGB for trackball... X-arcade tankstick has 22 pushbuttons ( that includes Player 1 & 2 pushbuttons) "22 RGB buttons plus the RGB TB would require 69 ports (3 x 23). To light them all you would need two 32-port LEDWiz's and one 16-port LEDWiz. That gives you 80 ports (but you'll only use 69 of them). Now when i was told this, I decided that I would just do the buttons on top + trackball... (18 pushbuttons) I am going to place single led for the player start buttons...so that would be..... "So you'll need 48 ports for the 16 RGB buttons (16x3), plus 3 ports for the RGB trackball, plus 2 ports for the player 1/2 single LED buttons. That's a total of 53 ports. You need two 32-port LEDWiz's and you'll have 11 ports unused for future expansion!" "Remember when you buy the two LEDWiz's to specify them as device #1 and device #2 on the GGG order page." |
