RGB LEDs #5

Open techhazard opened 7 years ago

The cherry keys can hold 3mm LEDs

I need to investigate what leds can be used and at what price.

The cherry switches I have in my corsair rgb light up really nicely. Way nicer than the blue leds in my ducky. It's because the switches in the corsair have a clear body and the rgb is mounted beneath the switch directly on the pcb. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/12/04/cherry-mx-rgb/1

Long story short, those would be really cool to have, but I need to decide before I do #7

I have ordered Gateron greens which do have a translucent casing. Perhaps I can use a programmable LED-strip to reduce the manual wiring
