Hi,

could you tell me if the led is in the correct position according to the following photos ?

If so, the led is facing the bottom. I don't understand why it isn't oriented to the top of the keyboard in order to glow through the switch ?

Regards

ok, I found my error : I'm using SK6812 MINI-E instead of SK6812 MINI :(

@coliss86 Please refer to the following. Photo PCB looks Altana.

Nexus	MX	No	SK6812MINI	Yes	No
Altana	MX	Yes	SK6812MINI	Yes	No

@swanmatch is YS-SK6812MINI the same as SK6812MINI-E?

swanmatch commented 3 years ago

@fi0 Yes!

So I should have gotten Container instead of Altana ... Dang it

Ok, for anyone that stumbles here in the future. here's my brief rant on how you still could use these LEDs if you ordered the wrong PCB.
