Possible LED install?
« on: Fri, 15 February 2019, 11:12:51 »
I have a vortex cypher and I was wondering how hard would it be to solder in leds? If its not to hard would RGB leds actually work?

The labor is not worth it.  Just BUY the LED board you want.

jep as tp4tissue says... The labor is definitely not wort it.
You would need to desolder your switches to some more transparent housing in the first place otherwise the SMD Leds would have very little effect + SMD soldering can be tricky if you dont have the right tools
