If you slice off too much, a little hot glue on the edge of the nib should restore the thickness.

yeah that will work.... BUT.... it wont feel right when you push the button... i would recommend warming the buttons in boiling water and trying to pull out the led and start again.... it took me a while to get my first few sets of led buttons right.... but i found if you use the right sized drill bit you'll leave just a little bit on the white plastic, just enough to use as a guide to fill you glue to...

i have a CG2 controller, do i need the optocoupler to wire up LEDs for my guide button and the a,b,x,y buttons? also if i used all white, and 2 blue ones in the guide button, i wouldnt need a resistor for the PnC kit or AA's would it? White have a forward voltage of 3.2 and the blues have 2.8.
Fareham dave:
hey krazykid, i have installed lights to my a,b,x,y buttons a few times on different controllers now. i have never needed an optocoupler in the past, also the only LED's you need to resitor down really are reds as they have the lowest outward voltage. hope this helps. :hifive:
Icyhaze:
it does, i was actually just going to go with all white and 2 blues in the guide button to save on confusion, i just dont want the white to bleed through the color of the a,b,x,y buttons. Do your LEDs work fine when you have the PnC kit plugged in?
Fareham dave:
yea it works fine for me with a pnc kit, i always use the 7 mode flasher code for my abxy lights. as i say i have never needed an optocoupler in the past and i only put a resistor on the red LED in the b button. as long as you dont drill the buttons out too much then you slouldnt get much bleed from the lights.
