kbd with LED in front of switch?
« on: Wed, 17 July 2013, 22:20:11 »
Does anyone make a board with individual LEDS in front/below of the switch instead of behind the switch?

thanks @LastPilot for that info.
I notice the filco has the switches mounted so the LED hole is forward but no LED installed.  i wonder if the PCB is LED ready.

@alaricljs thanks for the answer
I'm thinking it would be  8) to have front facing LEDs and keycaps with front lettering.
would like to see it if anyone has such a setup.

A few boards also have front-faced mod LEDs. Cherry G80s, Keycool non-backlit, CM.

Lol I thought about this before too.  Only issue is there isn't any front facing backlit keycaps.

Would be a cool idea though.  I wonder if manufacture will produce keyboard like this in the future.
