LED swap (are these compatible?)
« on: Wed, 04 February 2015, 08:35:20 »
Hay! I've been teaching myself to solder finally.. After deciding to not be scared. So I have desoldered several keys and swapped the switches thus far. Now I want to grab some green LEDs to swap.

Are these compatable? I don't know stuff and things about voltage etc..

If not, please link me some (not on ebay) that are! Thanks!  :cool:

Voltage aside, the size wouldn't fit into a regular mx switch. it's due to the extra width of the leds.
something like this
