How are you testing them??

With a 1.5v battery.  Just testing that they light up and that they are indeed white. ;)

I am such a noob...its that easy?


I'd probably use something like this.

My multimeter has the ability to pass a very small current which I use to test LEDs. If you have a multimeter you can probably use that.

It looks like those flat batteries, similar to the ones in watches. I could be wrong though. I know I have tested LEDS with one of those.

Referring to me?

I wanted to make sure they all worked and that they were all the same white.  It would totally suck to solder them in only to discover some were duds or were a different color.

I tried a 1.5v button cell battery and it didn't work.  I tried it with 6v by stacking  2x3v and boy it's bright...gets a little warm after a minute or so but not hot to the touch.

Sexy time! I'm sad that they come in red now though. I got a lame Green one :(.



For testing LEDs, I'm going to be putting some of those SIP sockets into switches then putting them on a Techkeys business card.

Sip on the card is a good idea. I am just going to install all my led boards with sips and just switch the LEDs if I have any duds.

Nice find, are you sure those are MX keys? There would be some modifiers missing, but most of it looks good :D
