Ya lo, even my ducky shine II also display on desktop only... Didn't use it but also no feel to sell it because of the pink backlight.... Now keep poping on my poker II, nothing to buy and grab a L shape usb to change the cable go other way ~

Added foam.

can we check the switch is not usable by simply looking at it?
scare after soldering then only find out then gg…

about installing leds on poker ii, please forgive me for keep asking
1. remove pre-soldered iron.
2. insert the led and solder it.
3. done?

do we need to check the resistor or something like that?

thanks again!

Look for the polarity (+-). Before soldering it in, try touching the leds to the points and see if it lights up before hand.
Well at least that's what I did.
Why would you need to remove your switch btw ?

There's one here that you can participate in. But I think even after shipping cost and all. more or less will be the same with what heavyarm is selling at.

okay! Thanks!
will start my project next weekend! stupid final! :'(

I haven't even got my poker modded with LED after so long

haha, np. should be fun. btw, I've edited my msg above.
Maybe you should re-read it. Not sure if I wrote it down properly

wanted to change my red switch to vintage black switch,,, not sure it will damage the pcb though

Desoldering switches is quite tedious I might say. I wanted to apply the stickers to the switches before mounting on the leds. But just removing the first one is so
Maybe I'll do something about it for my next keyboard.
Btw, may I know where did you get those black switches ?

that's why I will only start doing it during my semester break
taobao,,, search for WYSE 黑轴 or Cherry 轴版
higher chance to get old blacks or vintage blacks

Oh man... the typing sound is sweet ~
Because of the wood ?

After added foam the typing feel will change a lot.
It feels like you are typing on sofa.
Shock and sound absorbent also effectively increased.
very basic mod but great function

LED mod pretty easy.
Just put in and solder

because blue + grey is just too awesome till you find no need for leds now

you mean my keycaps? ^^ , I got no tool to do it, otherwise will give it a try. Need to find someone to mod for me.

Where can we buy the foam in Malaysia? When I search for foam, the result is always pillow or mattress
