Reply to My First mod!

I haven't been on this site long but i already have the inspiration to do my own project so today i went to maplin my local electronics store and went and bought this project box, cables and illuminated push on and off buttons...



I am going to buy a usb game controller me believes and re-wire it up to the buttons i have bought! I am going to buy more buttons but they only had these left in the store so im ordering the rest online!

Not really sure exactly how im going to make the buttons light up when they're supposed to but hey its all a bit of a learning curve for me so who knows! The buttons have 4 points on them. @ marked + & - which is standard so somehow i gotto figure what to do with the rest. I anyone has any ideas then let me know haha...

back of the button: excuse my poor soldering lol!



Was gonna do something similar to this : http://djranking s.com/community /showthread.php?t=2492 only with illuminated buttons instead of buttons and leds! I know its basic but this is my first try!

I'm only ever gonna use this as a show off piece for ableton so its not gonna be spot on. I just wanted to get to know hows it done first and then maybe move onto something abit more elaborate hehe! What do you guys believe? Any tips?
