I've always wanted something like this board, buttons which can light up (preferably a few colours), to use to make games. Anyone ever found such a board which is hackable / programmable?

Novation Launchpad used to be exactly that: you send MIDI CC messages with proper values and you can light up the grid (with different colors).

Did that a few years back, i guess this might still be possible

		> used to be Looks like they are still around? https://novationmusic.com/launchpad Also seems to be in stock locally. The device that I think popularized that design (citation needed) was the Monome (https://monome.org/) that looks like it is also still around and it has (always had?) some kind of open source license (https://github.com/monome).

https://www.adafruit.com/category/280, they're ready made from 4x4 to 16x8 but in theory you can just put more modules into an enclosure.
