QUOTE(Human10 @ Oct 10 2013, 02:48 PM) Plum87 only red color backlit. If want white I think should buy non-backlit version and mod it yourself. The one Xaphier bought is the backlit or non-backlit version?

QUOTE(justnits @ Oct 10 2013, 02:49 PM) meaning plum 87's pcb is led mod ready? i am happy with my keycool 87 liao but too bad there's no led mod ready on the pcb. have to dive deeper into poison engineering. Yup, plum87 is led ready. If it is similar to that on plum96 (which the holes are not presoldered), then it will be easier to mod than poker 2 since you simply need to instal the led, solder it on pcb and cut the excessive legs. But I not too sure if you need to do some adjustment on the resistors if you were to install 3v LEDs.

Or get Plum, buy 2 or 3 color LED. And ask forumer to solder as I don't have the skill...

Been reading a bit and wondering what's the difference between PBT and ABS?
