Wouldnt you need different coloured LED's for this though? How does it work so the buttons light at different colours?

Also, I'd really like these ICE buttons - but could I have some ICE and some normal?

From groovygamegear, you would order the electric ice buttons with Cherry™ w/ RGB-Drive and 2' cable.  This comes with the microswitch, leds, and the cable to connect them to the ledwiz.  They are pricey at 6.50 a piece, but comes with everything....

I've just had a look at GGG and for the option you mention above, it doesnt say if the RGB drive includes the LED too? Looking at the RGB Seperately, you have the option to add LEDs.

Sorry if I'm being thick - my brain hurts today!  :banghead:

This is what you want.  The RGB drive is the board with the RGB led and the resistors.  There is more than one way to order it, either through the pushbuttons tab or the led's and accessories tab, but in the end you will pay $6.50 per button with all the lighting stuff.

Cool, thats what I thought - thanks! :cheers:

Hmm...  The U360's.  I was trying to avoid them because I'm not really into the classic type games... but the wifey is.  So the pro's to this approach would be:
2 joys that are easily switchable from 8/4/diag
I can use the opti-wiz and the gp-wizrx-st (so I can put in a spinner)

cons:
Harder to hook up cool led buttons
Expensive Joys (if there's a problem, replacing them will be costly)
Joys have a different throw than the pure fighter joys.

I think I got it...  Thanks for answering :)

Three things:

The gp-wizrx-st is only for rotary joysticks.  If you want a spinner you will need something like this http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=268
There are only a few rotary games out there, and they require a special joystick or a joystick hack.  Basically they have I think 12 positions so you can move and turn your guy at the same time.

A much better option for you is the LED-Wiz+GP.  With a regular Ledwiz, you would have spots for 48 led's or 16 electric ice buttons.   This would save alot of money.  Then you would also have 16 input spots for whatever pushbuttons you use.  With two U360's, that gives you 28 inputs.  If I was building a cab all over, that would be the route I would take.  You also get 49-way, analog, 2-way, and more with the U360.

Also, your cons with hooking up the cool led buttons, they are really easy just messy.  Look at this pic.  The madusa looking thing in the middle is my mass of led wires.  Just strip them and screw them into their respective slots.
