The Standard Edition boards (Back to the Future, 8-Bit, Hard Candy, Night Drive and All Black) do not include front cover cutouts for blocker lighting. However, DIY blocker RGB lighting hardware (LEDs, individual PCB, etc.) is included in all variants regardless of cutouts. Special RGB Edition boards (Laser and Mech Love) include blocker RGB cutouts by default. The Mech Love Custom Edition has three customizable areas located at the left/right blockers and the area above the USB Type-C port, and can be customized on Angry Miao's official website.
PCB
1.2mm 4-layer hot-swap PCB with in-switch LEDs and cutouts. We are also working on an optional PCB supporting split Backspace (vote here (https://forms.gle/QN91SADXV9KxcAyK6)).
