I'm getting impatient waiting for my Infinity Ergodox from Massdrop since there is now a delay. I do want "hot-swap-able" LEDs and so I ended up ordering those SIP sockets. All this time of waiting I did do a little reading about how to use SIP sockets for this model here:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51792.0I ended up ordering a short SIP accidentally, but I did order some long leg SIPs just to make sure.
As i'm learning about modifications, I did encounter the topic on "holtites," (enabling hot-swap-able switches) not sure if anyone as of yet was able to get them to work on the Infinity Ergodox. This would be so ideal for me since I'm not sure if i'd like the Zelio tactile switch I chose for this drop since I generally like blues and greens.
I also invested in a good starter soldering unit as recommended on the I:C website. I ended up with a Hakko starter set. I got my LEDs, and I went with a 2x3x4 and it looks flush so far on the switch. I also went with the recommended solder from the Input Club website.
Hopefully Massdrop will ship out all the units next week. For now i'll just continue to do read more as usual, time to brush up on the programming aspect, i've been procrastinating this for awhile now.
