What is the point of lighting your controls?

Once set up correctly its a really nice investment, but I admit its more of luxury then a necessity really. Although I'll never regret making the change.
One day I'll have to replace the 4 way joy and start buttons though.
Plus the fact that your no longer limited to a single color as you have a much wider range of colors to use.
As far as the feel compared to happs or comp pushbuttons I noticed s slight difference but some of the people who have played on mine noticed it actually felt nicer with the led buttons then competition pushbuttons. I guess its just up to the individual person to determine which is best in the end. :)

Puerrican85,
Which buttons are those on your CP? Looks like the GGG buttons, can you give the specifics of your setup?
bigdog1977:
I think cause as humans we just like glowy things! IE: Glow in the dark condoms! :laugh2:
For real though,
I just bought 12 electric ices from GGG.
But like Arzoo says I wanna use them to show what buttons to use for each game. I always have to figure out what button does what with all the mame games, Hope it helps when my company is over and there like ok what buttons do I use. I havent installed them yet but I hope it helps. Thats why I bought em. Plus I like the glowy stuff! ;)

They can look great but it can cost a fair bit extra to light your average panel. The major factor that put me off doing my new machine with lighting is that I prefer function over finish, and finding your perfect button/switch combo usually means they are not easily modified to accept lights.
A lighted trackball looks nice though and is less affected by light additions, which is why I've gone with the U-trak and the led light unit.

Its just a test CP for now, I have some nice sequences planned for my 3 CPs and table top etc. I have three LED Wiz's and a Pac drive to program simultanously which should be fun. They are only single colour LEDs so I have to get 122 outputs on the LED Blinky sequencer screen. Fun times ahead! :)

Do you have a thread that shows your setup for the 8-way lights? I've been considering doing that, but wasn't sure the best approach (I'd like to light the arrows depending on the game).

I have to know how many ledwiz units he has running in his cab.
Ginsu Victim:
I only want the both sticks showing the 8-ways and that's it. 16 connections, which a single Pac-drive will support.
