GON NS NerD Crystal TKL - Detailed Build Log
CPTBadAss:
So that's why you asked me about the RGB Cherry housings....That board is sick. And now I want to type on it. Thanks for posting this build log too! :D.
I'm proud of you bro, getting people to build and mod their own gear is the GH dream ^__^.
LechnerDE:
Wow, really impressive!!
Thank you very much for this detailed write up :thumb:
I love all the little details in your build :)

Forget about the keyboard, this response is hilarious. :)) :P
Just kidding, this keyboard is fantastic. I'm really happy that it came out like you hoped it would! And now you need to mail it to me for "inspection". kthnx
pasph:
Really stunning!
Can you post a pics with side led light on only, on-pcb led light on only and one with both?

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.

Thanks for replying.
Do you know if the LEDs are normal 2-lead LEDs?
I know the switches say they're RGB (as in Corsair RGB) but I don't think GON's PCB supports RGB LEDs. I could be wrong, I'm just wondering cause I just ordered a NerD60 from GON and it would be awesome if I could do the same thing with RGB LEDs :P
