(I think this looked like the right area to post this in, sorry if I got it wrong!)
I'm plotting out the building a XD75 board, currently filling my cart with the necessary bits before purchasing, hoping it will help the stuff from different sellers will then arrive in a similar time frame
I've never built any board before so, there's plenty I'm unfamiliar with. One of those things being LEDs; the XD75 has the specs, according to the Ali page, of
"Supporting 3mm 2-pin LED Hot-Swappable base
Underglow RGB PCB (supports LED installations for further customization)"
which aside of knowing it supports lighting, is kind of gibberish to me. I want my keys with LEDs, that's one of the two main reasons for choosing this board; I've grown quite fond of them in the one I have now and I want to keep that.
So, one of the parts they sell is "Gold-Plated hot swap socket for 3mm leds" which "only can be used at XD75, one led need 2 sockets
There is a reed in the socket so that it can clamp the Led pin.
How to use it?
1\Puting socket at XD75 LED hole
2\Soldering it at the bottome of pcb."
Are these
necessary for installing the LEDs, or are they optional, just for making swapping out LEDs easy?
