Arcade buttons and an XY pad, my prototype is finished.

Ive wanted to finish one of the numerous midi controllers ive begun building over the years.
Ive always had fun using X/Y pads for messing with effects and have long loved the 16 pads and djaying.
So ive done a Midi Fighter inspired device. It has 16 Sanwa arcade buttons, 4 flush mounted blue led tactile buttons and a flush mounted Ipod touch.

Each of the small holes next to an arcade button will have a flush mounted light pipe filling it loaded with superbright blue leds.
Ill post some more updates soon. At the moment it will be a Hale brain, but not set in stone yet.
Any ideas or suggestions dont hesitate.
