I'm a bit of a novice with this hence my questions......

The SLI-M and SLI-Pro have more use in driving sims but the same rules probably apply for sim panels....I'm wondering if the buttons that you can add on one of these boards could be double wired so to speak with an LED?

I'm thinking about adding some buttons to my setup and when the circuit is made by a push button or toggle button I'm wondering if by double-wiring it I could have an LED light come on at the same time. I'm thinking it probably could but then would the tiny? amount of current needed for the LED light to come on have an effect on the board given that it is only USB powered?

The circuit/wiring for the standard buttons are shown below, I'm effectively asking if I could add the positive/other wire of an led onto the common/ground of a switch circuit so when a toggle switch or toggle button is switched on the led will light simultaneously?

Well, a quick play has showed me that this doesn't work.....I guess the button connectors aren't simple 'circuits' that are either on or off and use the software management to provide whatever function they are programmed to do.

Back to the drawing board.
