Not long ago, 3XRGB light kit was designed by some keyboard enthusiasts to spice up the customized keyboard game, especially for the novelty keycaps compatible with backlighting. The designers use spectacular skills to attach 2/*1206 SMD LED to the surface of the switch combined with the one regular switch LED to create the magical 3XLED backlight. This is, however, quite cumbersome, and not quite as accessible to most users.
Based on the community’s instructions and feedback, we have created 4XRGB light kit. The 4XRGB is installed between the PCB and the plate, the 4 SMD LEDs emit the lights, which shines through any transparent switches (e.g., Tealios), and the effects on box switches (with creamy bottom) are also great.
Here are some pictures and videos of the actual products, and how they look on novelty keycaps. This 4XRGB will no doubt take your keyboard game to the next level.
Most of the PCBs are compatible. Details of installation instructions will be provided to users. A minimal level of soldering skills are needed.
Original Designer and Manufacturer: Scott Wei
Update: Scott designed and made some but the demand is not high. Now Demo S has made an improved version if more people will be interested. This will likely be available along with the Think6.5V2 GB.
See images and videos below, and let us know what you think and whether you will be interested in this offered to the broad community at a reasonable cost!
