DemoS said he will offer the 4XRGB kit along with the Think6.5V2 GB, so there is no need to pay shipping, in case you want to pick up some. Here is an instruction I made, as I built a Think6.5 V2 proto tonight.
Here is a quick tutorial on installing a 4XRGB kit on Think6.5V2. Suffice to say that 4XRGB kit an be installed in many PCBs using various methods, but we have made a conscious effort to make it super easy for you to install it. This is also my absolutely favorite mod to any keyboard build.
First step: Take a 4XRGB kit (with some wires, which will be provided with the kit in the upcoming GB), and fix it to a flat surface. What I did was to stick it on a plastic surface with a double sided adhesive.
Apply some solder on the pads (the pads will be optimized in the new version DemoS developed, what I am showcasing here is an old version of 4XRGB kit), and solder the 3 wires to the pads.
Note that the 3 pads are G, I, and V.
Second, stick the kit to the PCB. I use double sided adhesive, applied to the bottom of the kit, which sticks to the PCB. Note that I use a switch to guide it, so that later the switch can fit in the switch slot but not collide with the kit.
Third, insert the wires through the hole on the PCB to the back of the PCB.
Fourth, clip the wires to the right length, and solder them to the G.O.V holes, note that you match G wire to G, I wire to O, and V wire to V. I use different colors of wires, but if you might use single color if you can tell them apart as you solder the respective wires to the correct holes.
Fifth, this all is done correctly, when you connect the USB cable, the 4 RGB LEDs on the kit should light up.
This is how it looks like when you put a switch on. Use some transparent or translucent switches for maximum RGB effects.
Lastly, tune your VIA light effects settings to achieve the result you like for the 4XRGB ESC Mod, here is mine.
