10-button kit – Picade Plasma Kit – Illuminated Arcade Buttons
$62.45
Add technicolour brilliance to your Picade or Picade Console with these addressable RGB LED arcade buttons, available in a 10-button kit (all buttons).
Swap out your Picade’s arcade buttons for the crystal clear ones in this kit, pop one of the Picade Plasma PCBs over the button’s spade terminals, hold the PCB in place with the spade connectors, and chain all of the Plasma PCBs together with the included cables. Use the host cable to connect the Plasma chain to your Picade, install Pimoroni’s Picade Plasma software, and BAM, your Picade is 110% more colourful!
Description
Each Picade Plasma PCB has four tiny, addressable, RGB LEDs (APA102) and a data in and data out JST connector. They’re designed to fit neatly inside the recess on the back of the low-profile arcade buttons and shine their light through the clear plastic. The white PCB bounces an spilled light from the LEDs to give them extra GLOW.

You can read Pimoroni’s tutorial on fitting Picade Plasma buttons to find out how to fit the buttons and control them with the Picade Plasma software.
