Hey, this is my first post here, so you may have to bear with me and my crude msPaint diagrams a little on this, but I'll attempt to explain what i'm looking for.
I'm in the very slow process of building a 'light keyboard', essentially a musical keyboard, but instead of playing a different note, I want each key to light up a different light pod, which when placed around the room, allow you to play along visually with music.
**broken link removed**
I have a 5A 12v power supply, and 24-30 12v 4led pods, and my original plan, was to turn an old electric keyboard into the main switchboard that everything connected to, but the sheer scope of wiring all the switches and everything together, just isn't for me.
This is the best example i can come up with off the top of my head, for essentially what I'm looking for in a switchboard, but preferably with 12 buttons per board. Best case scenario for the light pod connections would be speaker wire spring clips, as i'd be able to unplug everything fairly simply for storage, or moving it around. (I know very little about electrical diagrams, so this seems to make sense to me, but I can explain better if I left anything out.)

I've tried ebay, and google shopping, but I'm not sure exactly what to search to find what i'm looking, admist the millions of other similar technical names. Does anyone know where I could find something like what I'm looking for? It seems fairly simple, just tedious amounts of work, is there any place that builds these sorts of things on request, if you can't just buy them outright?
Thanks in advance
