So i know i've been inactive for a while here, but I'm going to be building a custom controller for a friend, and have some questions about switches, and led's.
Basically this is going to be a fight stick for an xbox 360, I have the buttons and the joy stick already for it, i just need some help on the following.
Lighting: I'm planning on using a vandal switch for the home button on the controller, as well as the rest of the lighting by leaching power from the USB+5v Line. How many lights can i really run doing this? The plan so far is 1 lit vandal momentary switch for the home button, and 2 led's hooked into the controller at the 1 and 2 position to show which player is up.
Buttons: Does anyone know of a good matte black switch about 1/2 in across (momentary) that i can use for the back and home buttons?
There should be a work thread up soon as well... I've been busy, and it feels good to be back.
