Feel free to ask me any questions :) I wasn't sure what kind of content to write about anymore since it was so long since I wrote the last one. Also any suggestions or constructive criticism is completely fine with me, I don't get my feelings hurt

Such nice LED mods but no pictures of them illuminated!
-
very nice board, love the cherry sticker
also that 420 awesome face is perfect with the yellow/pink on green theme, I didn't like it at the beginning and I end up wanting it on my board!
-
I realized that after typing about it lol I'll get some pics of the LEDs :)

Little birdy told me a limited amount might be coming back around...
-
Do you know how the mod works?

Definitely not an auction :)

Which mod Sifo? The LEDs?
The LEDs are a simple trace wire that connects to the controller's ground and positive points.

Hope these are OK!

Is the red legend less opaque than the white?
-
When you say custom "trace" is this a wire that's randomly put on the back of your board or did the person who made the PCB add an actual trace?
-

It certainly appears to be that way, but you wouldn't be able to tell unless you shined a light on it like that, lol. But if you look at the Star key, it certainly looks like it...

Sorry for the confusion, it's a wire. Is it even possible to add a physical trace onto the PCB after it's been manufactured?

Sorry for the slight OT (since this isn't about The Cheat), but what's the keyboard in the middle of the first picture here?: http://dangwang.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/its-a-happy-family/

That's a Filco on top (see the velcro tie on the USB cable). I believe, IIRC that it is a straight Ergo-Clear mod done by Clickey. It seems to have Cherry Black on White DS's on it with a Moogle kit. The middle one is a KMAC with Dolch DS's and a Cherry dyesub RGB off of a Desko board and an OG CC skull. On the bottom is a HHKB JP edition, hence the funky bottom row etc. Not sure if this one has any funky caps on it other than the CC.

After it has been manufactured, no. I was wondering if you somehow got the files and the person had added in a trace.

^damnnn, look ate Nate Dawg memorizing my keyboards...
-
I've never seen a trace added to an existing circuit board but I have seen 'traces' drawn with metallic pens. Only for very short distances though. Usually it's wire mods.

Lol! I just remembered off of memory. I read your entire blog one day in study hall...I didn't have much else to do.

I bought this Cheat from an awesome member on GH.
FTFY

Great review! Everything just fits together so perfectly, from the case to the keycaps and that beautiful MiMiC cable. The Cherry sticker just adds that final bit of class.

Sweet keyboard, nicely done.
