Are you using cherry microswitches?
For cherry microswitches COM has a 1 near it, NC has a 2 near it, and NO has a 3 near it. You only need two wires going to each switch. Attach the ground wire to the COM and the other wire to the NO.

Also make sure you have a resistor in line with the LEDs or you will kill them. Go to the GGG website on the LEDWiz page and download the LEDWiz PDF. It is very straight forward. Make sure to note the lengths of the LED leads. This will clue you in to the anode / cathode side.

I will only have 24 Ice buttons. So that is 480, so I should be OK correct? Oh....... plus the Electric Ice Trackball.
If I am using the RGB Drive I shouldn't have to worry with this correct? I should just connect them to the LED WIZ.

Ok I understand this part now, I thought the "NC" said "NO".
Thanks

Last question I hope.
I am using the RGB Drive and they seem to have 4 wires, how do I wire these up to the LEDWIZ? Does one wire go to ground and the other three go to 1, 2, 3 on the LEDWIZ? If so, how do I know what wire goes where and if I have 24 of them I guess I need two more LEDWIZs right? I guess I would run all the grounds together and then connect one to the LEDWIZ ground.
Should I use any EURO terminals?

Should I wire ALL my grounds together? As in going from one joystick to the next and all the buttons? I have six joysticks, 2 Reunions and 4 P360s and about 30 buttons. So I would go from the ground on the IPAC to the first switch, then to the next switch, etc and then back to the ground on the IPAC, right?
Thanks

Can anyone answer my last two questions, the above two posts?
Thanks
