Buy the one from alixinzhai, he/she made a acrylic casing for pokers.

Hah. Perhaps I confused you right there. What I meant was the led size to fit into the poker 2. And if anyone knows which led would be suitable ? The round headed ones or square ones.
Many thanks. smile.gif

the round headed ones they usually need to sand them down (this is due to the cherry switch), the square ones (which the koreans prefer) im not sure need to sand down or not... but so far, havent seen one with square LEDs that are sanded down...  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

I remember someone posted a taobao link that sells MX LEDs. Meaning rounded ones that doesn't need sanding. Have to go back to previous thread to find it. :/

This shop's LED not bad, grouped the LED types nicely. I bought over 300 (3 colors) in one go from them last time and all are functional + no uneven brightness sort of problems at all.

Basically, I will recommend this shape and size one for MX switches, since it fit in nicely.

Here's the outcome of it (though in real life, it looks more greener instead of the lime in the picture)

Thanks for the recommendation.
I think I'll get these instead though.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10....id=13025250479&
those will work right ? Since it's 3mm.
I should get extra's when I order too yeah ? I scared I fail or some leds dies later on can replace laugh.gif
And since you have done some soldering before, can you recommend which solder did you use ?
Thanks again tongue.gif

3mm should fit, but I not really sure bout the height of the led since it looks a little tall in the picture. 

Yar, extra 10% is safe enough, it don't cost you much and is still dirt cheap compare to getting from local.

For recommendation on solder sort of stuffs, better ask kai cause he is more professional on it, I simply hentam with any tools I can find at local hardware stores...

Thanks bro, appreciate it. happy.gif
Regarding the solder, wait till kai sees this then.

As long as u see rounded head and æ— è¾¹ means it can be fitted directly.

If you buy the one like "hat" shape, you need to shred the extra to fit,

Alright thanks biggrin.gif

You just need to spam Q&W in LoL that's it.
A normal board would be good. TKL if you wanna save space.

I think it's possible to source a white Filco from taobao.
I think one of the forumers here did purchase it before but he sold it off already. hmm.gif

Like that u get from Taobao better lah. About RM500-520 (base on new rate)
150 x 3.2 (paypal rate) > 450
USPS express mail cost morethan 30usd for that

Meanwhile, mana Edifier ? Bring a few then no more edi ?
