Title: un-LED'ed 'M... now with LED's!
Post by: phosphorglow on Fri, 09 May 2014, 15:57:27

Terminal board I got bored with. Sure, it was gorgeous and clean and felt wonderful. But it was boring. So I swapped over some keycaps and left the super awesome ones, added in the number pad "+" key, and decided to utilize the controllers status LED capability by lighting the Caps/Scroll/Num keys from underneath.

I think it looks absolutely freaking cool. The bee's knees, if you will. :D

It's rather subtle in normal lighting, and incredibly epic looking in low light.

An interesting mod!  Most people probably would have just replaced the case top and added the LED board.
