Great job my keyboard is still at the prototype phase.Have not yet got round to putting it in a proper casing.Still love the quicker flashing holds

Yeah you get that whole new level of realism with illuminating buttons. Hats off to Wizard for making this incredible software with these great features that were all enjoying.

Thanks Gary for the useful info. So far so good. All 16 Leds light up with the test lamps in MFME. All buttons show input in Notepad with set keyboard commands. Currently trying to configure Vectra666's excellent Chilli Con Carnage. I'll then use this as a template for other fruits meaning I'll only have to reconfigure the odd button rather than all of them again. It's amazing what you can achieve with support and help from others. When I took on this project I was so overwhelmed with what was involved in building this keyboard. When I opened up the parcel from ArcadeWorldUK I definitely thought I was way in over my head. Thanks to the community on this website I am about 10 minutes away from playing a virtual fruit machine with a real keyboard that lights up like the buttons on the screen. Wow!

After a solid weeks work, making the box, applying vinyl wrap, drilling holes, fitting buttons, wiring buttons to controller boards my MFME keyboard is finished. I couldn't have done it without MPU_FIVE (Gary). His amazingly detailed shopping list made it easy to buy what I needed. His awesome guide on his own keyboard helped me get mine built. Thanks to ArcadeWorldUK for supplying the parts quickly and replacing my faulty led super fast (thanks Andy). Now comes the even more scary part. Getting the keyboard to work with fruit machines. That's the task for the weekend.

Attached are photos of prototype and final version.

Great guide Reg thank you. I may be able to get this up and running without asking the kids!
