Swapping switched on my Ducky Shine 2

[Daniel]

Yo

I got some Gateron reds to replace my Cherry reds but I forgot that I have LEDs (white ones) in my keyboard that I will need to reinstall as well.
My question is which LEDs do I need to buy exactly? I'm assuming the resistors are built into the PCB, so I don't know what kind exactly I should purchase.
I would just reinstall the same ones that I'm taking out but I don't know how to hold them in place, unlike the switches that clip to the plate there's no way (that I know of) to hold them in place while I flip the board and solder their pins.

Thanks for any help..

Maybe you can try to use small alligator clips like these to hold the LEDs in place. It'll probably just be easier to get new LEDs though I think the general recommendation for LEDs are 1.8mm or 2x3x4. 3mm are possible, but I've heard they can have issues with some keycap profiles.

At 30:18 of this assembly:

he takes a bit of sellotape to hold the leds in place.

Second using tape if you don't get new ones.
