You need to make a decision on your power source here sometime. SS covered it, but if you want to use a buckpuck, you need >5V power source. I personally prefer using single 18650 3.7V batteries and resistors. Part of that is that I like short hilts. But that's just me. Whatever you prefer to do, but you need to figure out which route you want to go.
And yeah, if you're using an illuminated switch, you'll want that dynaohm resistor. Just make sure you don't install it backwards. The resistor itself has a + and - side. Also make sure it goes on your LED +. Normal resistors can usually go on the + or - but that dynaohm needs +.
Of course, you only need to know that part if you build it yourself. If JQ does it, you needn't worry about it.
