lol, same.

Only had time to test the sky blue but they look great. Will hopefully find time to solder them in tomorrow.

Only one of my two packages arrived so far, but no time to test anything yet

Glad to hear they are in people's hands!

As I mentioned before, I'm quite happy with how the Sky Blue turned out. I may run a few smaller GBs for other interesting colors in the future when I have more time on my hands.

If people have suggestions, please message me and I'll add it to the list for consideration!

My "warm white" LEDs and other stuff arrived today.

I know it is not the intended use, but I replaced my PC's blue power LED with the warm white, because I hate blue LEDs. Very warm indeed, like the yellow post background colour of the Thoriated forum theme I am using here ... and very bright!
I will have to put a resistor on it if there is no BIOS setting for driving it with PWM...

LEDs have arrived (in Australia) - many thanks :)

The diffused white seems slightly less white than some other white LEDs I have, although the warm white is very nice.

The green is extremely bright!  The red seems a bit weak in comparison (same as another batch of LEDs I have - bright green but much less bright red).

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I'm really amused that my order fit so neatly into a box. Was going to post pic when I received originally but forgot :).

I remember trying your order in 3 different box sizes until this one fit perfectly...

Looking at the numbers, I am 5% of the GB orders by volume, kek. I like building boards to a theme (although not necessarily keeping them), so I figured I'd stock up on a variety of LED colours ahead of time :).
