GON NS NerD Crystal TKL - Detailed Build Log
VesperSAINT:
Dood... this is officially the cleanest looking keyboard that has ever graced my eyes since I started my keyboard journey. The amount of time, dedication, and planning that you put into it has created something absolutely unique and beautiful! I know the feels of being able to finalize a keyboard that you've planned and dreamed of having, because I felt the same way when I finished my White RGBY Filco, which was the first custom/modded keyboard I ever built (yeah, it's not a Korean custom but it required a lot of planning, time, work, and even luck to build). BUT I'll stop now because I think I'm getting a lil' too excited and emotionally invested in a keyboard that isn't even mine...LOL!!! ...................... (give it to me)
Seriously, this has to be one of my favorite keyboards to date ~<3 The theme is a huuuuge part of it but also amount of heart put into it is what makes it so special :D It's so personal, and I love it even more for that reason ~<3
The moments I experienced as I looked through and read this post:

Best Gon I've ever seen.
Hell, at the moment, I can't think of a single keyboard that looks better than this.
Just glorious.
Karura:
Your efforts have paid off. I am truly amazed :)
Just a question, if the GON uses SMD LEDs on the back for the housing, and the switch themselves come with SMD LEDs, how does it work?
I might be confused, do RGB switches come with LEDs in them?
If not, does that mean you have LEDs soldered (SMD) on both front and back of the PCB?
Either way, I really wish I could type on your keyboards, it seems really good.

You're correct, the LEDs for the switches are surface mount on the front of the PCB and the side LEDs are surface mount on the back. This page shows how Gon himself actually solders the SMDs for the side lighting to help throw light in the right direction for the housing. The RGB clear housings are designed to be used with SMD and I believe they actually have a diffusion lense of some sort on the bottom to help with illumination.
