              Hi,
              See my build on instructables to make button leds light up depending on which game console is used:

              https://www.instructables.com/Arcade-Bartop-With-Illuminated-Buttons-Per-Console/

              No ledspicer is needed, only 12 transistors, 12 resistors and a 40-pole flatcable with connectors.
              and software to control the leds...

                @alexp you can use the ledspicer's raspberry pi GPIO plugin to get extra functionality.
                LEDSpicer does a lot more than just turn LEDs on.

                  Hi,
                  Yes you are right, ledspicer gives you much more functionality. But I only needed to show which buttons from the whole cabinet are used by each game console to make things more clear for the gamer. My leds inside the buttons are just single color leds, no RGB.

                    @alexp just to clarify, LEDSpicer supports both Single color and RGB
                    if you need minimal functionality then you are set.
