... and a part of a laptop he's building.

What's cute about it is that he's added LEDs to it by modifying the teensy scanning circuit to drive the rows of LEDs.

Since it's in a laptop, and they put LEDs on it, I'm kinda surprised they didn't go for something like FaceW or Gon's PCBs.

wow... I can only guess he bought that PCB on an impulse buy and has had it lying around, that or he's just that hardcore. That thing is a mess.

I do think that the scanning thing to illuminate the LEDs is kind of neat, wouldn't have been something I'd of thought of.
