Wow.. u did that urself.. how much it cost?

pics of it in action plz

I also considered modding it but so far the only part where light can come out is from 'between the keys' because most keys are solid, and are not 'see through'.. also all and most EL cables are 12V.. tried to modify my kb last time, when to bro Gary's shop, only realised all are 12V..

To be able to utilise the 5V USB connection (or have a 2 USB port powering your keyboard, instead of another ugly 12V cable from the back).. we need to find 5V EL cables.. do those exist?

Anyway.. I'm interested in getting a base kit like this.. for modding and it's mechanical switch keys!

hmm.that deck keyboard rocks.with individual red leds on each keys summore.

me i juz use 2 short ccfl hidden sumwhere near the kb to illuminate it.

try using those 'small' LED... placed them in series with each other. LEDs wont cost u much... its quite cheap.
but take care of the current supplied to the LEDs. u might need resistor. u could also add capacitor as a supply filter if the LEDs flickers (suggesting that the supply is not stable)

i found tis blog tat uses el lighting cable to light up the kb but i cant remember where i seen it other than tat is maybe look for hollow keypads?

Isn't it faster, cheaper to use one of these?

RM1 ? i jus buy 2 LED. the rest are extra stuff lying in my house

laters.. still modding the LED. apparently i put wrong resistor till its not at the brightness i want

edit:


i using tarantula keyboard. so i want to make full use of the mini-usb port available. so have to mod 1 which uses the mini usb port

I am thinking of using EL wire for modding my Everglide keyboard, but then most EL are 12v and got those silly inverter box thing.

How?

put the sily inverter box inside ur case then use small wire to connect the el wire

case? im using laptop leh.....and i occasionally bring this KB for LAN gaming

cabut from the powerbook or macbook pro la ? the keyboard are cool T.T

the link is dead sir.can reupload?
