What is the point of lighting your controls?

Dazz:
It seems that controls that are lit is the new rave now days...  What is the exact point in doing so now?   They seem to look nice...  I just don't understand the fascination with them.  I guess I am just old school.  I personally think that lit controls and buttons would be very distracting to use when they are in your preferential vision...  It would probably even add a little extra glow/glare on the screen to be distracting.

So, why do you have lights and blinky things on your control panels?

I took my lights out. I didn't like the feel of them compared to my standard Happ concaves. The only thing I did like about them was the ability to light just the buttons a game needed. Other than that, I don't miss them.

I have to agree and some of the cabs with them that I have seen should carry an epilepsy warning...!!

I have to agree with you there, the electric ice buttons don't feel as nice as the original buttons I was using in my CP and when I tap some of them I can hear the spring vibrate. While the attract modes look great and lighting the buttons with the real colors is cool, it's a shame the buttons don't feel as good.
