Replacing X-Arcade Buttons With LED Buttons
Franco B:
Does the X-Arcade have two pinball buttons each side? If so I guess that does make 22 buttons (16 action, two start and four pinball) I was thinking it only had one pinball button either side.
In that case you would need three LED Wiz's for full RGB (66 outputs) but it seems pointless to buy a third LED Wiz to light one extra button.
njay's X-Aracade doesn't have a trackball and he is planning on single colour LEDs so he should be fine with one LED Wiz.

Yeah 2 on each side...left side is # 3 & mouse left click....right side is #4 and right mouse click...
Yeah i was really wanting to figure out what was what because i want to do the same thing...this is next on my checklist...
njay:
i was plan on only use of 1 color per button so one led wiz is good.
if you want rgb colors per led then you indeed need two led wiz
dafelandry:
right on! Very good post! I want to LED mine and possibly gut it....or i wouldnt mind changing the panel on it... kinda sick of staring at that X (now to find that post)

thanks for clearing that up, with the price of the novagem is sounds like the electic blue is the way the go.
i wanna put RGB on my 2nd project.. anyway grovygamer also sells lenses you put in to diffuse the light.. are those really necessary to get it glowing good?
lit buttons get expensive quickly i was thinking of getting just the RGB and do the wiring my self they also sell it with a board that will snap right on.. would save time but also cost 2 bucks more.
