[GB] LED Color Cover Changer for Cherry Mx Switch [Closed, SHIPPING]

[keypro]

LED Color Changer for Cherry Mx Switch  (1pack =10 pcs)

Another announcement 1/10/14

Firstly, almost half of the orders has been packaged, and today I just realized that when I was packing them, all red covers were not included in the parcel. This has been caused by a lack of communication and misunderstanding between me and manufacturer. He will resend me all red covers on 5th October after " National Day of the People's Republic of China" ends. I'm deeply regret for the incurred issue and it will prolong the shipping date for whose order red color. The shipping date should be around in the mid of October. If any buyer wants to get a refund for red color or changer to other colors, please send me a PM or email. I will send you a refund. For those who didn't order red and light green, the items will be shipped out tomorrow.


Update 30/9/14
Hi, there is a current circumstance that needs to be announced to every buyer who orders dark green color covers. As the manufacturer has just told me, dark green color has been discontinued production due to both colors are too relatively similar. Only light green available. So, buyers who order dark green, please inform me whether you want to get a refund or choose other colors apart from dark green color. Thanks you and sorry for your inconvenience. The item will be shipped today without registered tracking number.


I will be taking order until the end of September and an invoice will be sent within 2 days.
The item will be starting shipped around in the end of September.

Example of how to calculate the price

 Buys 1 pack = $0.78 (LED cover) + $0.65 (Shipping price) + $0.06+$0.30 (4.4%+0.30 Paypal) = $1.79 (total price/ 1 pack)

Buys 10 packs = $7.8 (10 packs) + $1 (Shipping price) + $0.38+$0.30 (4.4%+0.30 Paypal) = $9.48 ($0.95 USD/ 1 pack)

Price : $0.78 USD/ Pack

Paypal : 4.4%+0.30 USD

Oh, my keyboard and my zippo  nice too see it helps you guys with a new gb

[sonnt]

FYI. Be carefull with the spacebar tweak.
The cover for space bar is built for Shine spacebar, it wont work well with other keyboards spacebars.

[LechnerDE]

Thanks for the GB!

Just curious if this interferes with any certain keycaps?

This may help you.

To provide some information, my LED covers work with the MKC aluminum keycaps as well as the general Ironman keycaps, but it does not work with my gas mask keycap, my Hotkeys Ironman core keycap, and my Hotkeys warmaster keycap. The Hotkeys caps have a plastic subcover that hits the LED cover, and the gas mask is just too thick to fit the LED cover under.

[jessa]

Ordered 38 packs total Thanks heaps!!

Hi, Keypro
I and my friend are gonna get these sets. The questions are do I have to pay for shipping fee, could I just go and grab these led color changers sets from you when they arrive? And do I have to pay via Paypal or you have any store open in Bangkok somewhere? Thanks

Hi, you can go through the order form and write your address in Thai. You still need to pay for the shipping price depending on the quantities and they will be shipped by Thai post office. I don't have a store yet, but I will put my store on FPSthailand site next month.

[WiNloSt]

Cool!!! Looking forward to see more stuffs coming up in Thailand ) )

Will these work with DSA SP keycaps?

[keypro]

I believe it will work if your LED can shine through the caps.

[jessa]

Will these work with DSA SP keycaps?

I believe it will work if your LED can shine through the caps.

It depends what you mean by "work". SP doesn't make any DSA caps that are truly backlit compatible where the legends are transparent and can glow. The only effect an LED could have is some general glowing through the whole cap, and an underglow. Have you already been able to see the effects that your LEDs provide on the SP DSA caps that you're referring to?

My experience is only with blank PBT DSA caps in white (WAN), mid grey (GDE), and black (NDY), and I've found that the white LEDs on my Shine 3 are only visible through the white keycaps. I would assume that with these color changers you would see the tinted color through the white caps, but probably a lot dimmer than without the cover. With all of the caps I have an underglow effect, and I would imagine this color would also be changed with these color changers, but again it will probably be a lot dimmer than without. It doesn't help that my keyboard has a black plate so the underglow isn't very obvious.

I bought my colour changers primarily for the recently announced Vortex backlit compatible PBT caps (OEM profile) for whenever they are released, but I'm also hoping they'll be able to provide a tint to my white DSA caps, and with the light grey alphas in Granite and Decked Out.

So in summary, you may be able to get a muted keycap glow and underglow with the colour changers, but it's only likely to work with lighter colored keycaps. Of course I can only speak about PBT and not ABS.

I hope that helps.

Will these work on keyboards that have blue backlighting

[The Mad Professor]

Will these work on keyboards that have blue backlighting

Oh they'll work, but every one you put on will be affected by the blue light. Red changers would give you a purplish hue. Orange will give you brown, yellow will give you green. Green will give you blue-green... etc, etc, etc...

OK. I guess I'll buy a white led keyboard like a rapid-i

I just wanna make cool color combos and rainbow keyboards

Ah, then you do want white.

[mrbread]

Hey, I have a few questions that I want to ask before buying this. I have a keyboard with red LED that means if I buy the pack with blue cover it will actually give me purple instead of blue, right? From my understanding this is a cover to put on top of the led and under the key cap, all I have to do is remove the key cap, put on the cover and put back the key cap to make this work, right? (Just want to make sure the steps are easy and doesn't require anything else). Thanks. 

[The Mad Professor]

Precisely, though the exact shade of purple is unknown because it depends on the intensity of blue and how strong the red LED is.

The step is easy. You just have to put these covers on over the LED. No soldering or other steps required.

True, but you can adjust the brightness of the color on most keyboards, so I guess it depends on the cover.
