gayness overload!!! is the cherry mx rgb with transparent top housing with conventional LED mounting or are the LEDs mounted in different place?

You make it sound so cheap with those two statements.

Gon..........ohmygawd.

I smell ComingSoonTM.

The switch like in the photo only.
LED mounted inside the transparent housing.

What about the wiring? I saw RGB LEDs need 4 pins in total.

I think it depends on the mounting on PCB.

How does it work, really?

You're welcome.

Slow poke corsair.
There's a guy from cina designed his own from scratch and already selling pre order for 800rmb.

best thing is it using standard modifier base on latest keycool 108 barebone

That's gotta hurt.
2 more month to go until Corsair release their RGB:

guys wanna ask where I can get WASD keycaps ah? Mind despite new and using it for just less than a week can see the WASD starts fading off already T__T

You kinda need to read up on what I actually asked :|

I was wondering how RGB LEDs are mounted because the require 4 pins instead of 2

More interested about the PCB side of things, instead of a simple GH page where anyone can search...

I'm buying keycaps from Originative. See if you like anything from there amd we share costs. Maybe the Blank Reds for WASD would look nice.

the pcb have holes for 4 pin led.
hence existing pcb can't run rgb led

the new corsair pcb redesigned for rgb smd led.

whereas i think the china's pcb is using through hole rgb led.

there's one dude in GH is designing one pcb for rgb led also...using 4 pins as well IINM

linkie linkie

Think back your old Nokia phones, there is SMD LEDs mounted directly on the PCB, while a layer of key membrane lay over it.

I believe it is similar to cherry rgb. LED is mounted on the PCB directly, without any direct relation with cherry switches.

Hmmm.. Interesting if we use a 4-pin through hole LED. Drill hole on switch? IIRC the switch has 2 holes initially.

Hmm.. is that why they need the clear switch covers?

Yeah. They turned to using small smd led instead of the old 3mm led. This is the easier way to achieve the 16mil color things.

is this true? got more sos? i can imagine it will be so much harder to repair/replace leh
