Just waiting for these switches to be released to the public so that I could put it on a GON or something

Pretty sure the switches will need a new PCB designed for them.

I don't think that GON would pass these switches up when they released. Surely a new PCB would be made.

Corsair have these switches exclusively until next year. But I still think the colour looks a little washed out. And It's stupid expensive for a Corsair too.

Hopefully Ducky do something to them so we get the intensity we know and love from ducky with the light show you get from the RGB.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

GON's PCBs use PWM, so no RGB LEDs.

He's pretty adamant that PWM is the best way to do brightness.

Any way that we could use custom PWM diodes inside of the switch when they release? I also have no idea where the pins for these things are going to be.

I really can't wait to get an MX RGB keyboard, but my only complaint is the light bleed around the bottom of the key caps.  It really takes away from the backlit key text.  I hope other companies will make RGB keyboards and limit the light bleed.  That would be perfect in my opinion.

The whole point in the new switch housing is the light bleed... Yeah they have 16m colours, but if they wanted to just do a 16m colour board they would have popped one out ages ago. I think it's a bit gimmicky and detracts from the lighting tbh.

 If you want just the text lighting up, get a ducky.
