Howdy!
I'm currently restoring a keyboard that has white SMD backlighting.
I've just fixed it up, and was gifted a new set of keycaps for it today
! I thought it'd be really nice if the lights were orange instead to match the set! But how would you, my friend, recommend I check for compatibility, if I were to replace the SMDs?
What I know is the following:
1. The current SMDs are white with 2.65V of current running through them
2. They are preceded by 680 resistors
3. The board will have Akko (gateron-based) switches, which are SMD compatible, I'm pretty sure
I would love to have orange SMDs on it! Which numbers do you believe I should watch for when shopping for them? I'd prefer not to have to change the resistors as well, but if that's what I gotta do, then I might consider some orange cellophane on top of the SMDs hehehe
Thanks!
