Lightbars on 60% keyboard cases?
« on: Mon, 09 September 2019, 06:52:33 »
Hi guys,

finally I have the courage - and the budget - to build my first custom board and have been researching the parts for a few weeks now.
Switch, pcb and plate are decided, but since I care a lot about how my desk looks, I wanted to implement some subtle lighting into the board.
I really like the way some prebuild boards handle that nicely, I think, Massdrop ALT, Drevo Blademaster etc. Also the Kira looks nice, but most of all, the Alu68, which is no longer for sale.

Are there ANY 60% boards (I would even be fine with 65%) that support lighting like that? I know of the Tofu frosted acrylic, but I think that's a bit over the top for me.
Would really appreciate some help, so I can finally get my first custom :)

That's one can of worms to open around here ;)

Tina is probably your best bet. If you can't find them on KPRepublic, KBDFans will probably get a few more in stock sooner rather than later. This hobby loves waiting for things -- it's how we keep our wallets from draining in a matter of days.

Welcome to the hobby -- if you have any quick questions or just want a conversation, Discord or IRC are great resources too!

It may be on their English website, but you can buy it on their Taobao page via a proxy (or by yourself if you want to use Chinese). I purchased through there and got it cheaper than their regular price and in about a week. However, they may not ship to eastern Europe if that applies.
