Modifying a Noppoo Choc Mini

[SwagSeaMember]

I have Noppoo Choc Mini and wanted to make it look like this. I think I found the correct link for what I’m supposed to purchase, but I’m not sure what options I’m supposed to choose. Here are the options I have selected. Anything I need to change? Thank you!

I also want to replace the blue LED’s on my keyboard with red ones (there are only 4 LED’s), would I simply desolder and replace the LED’s, or would I need to use different resistors as well?

One last thing, how do I attach LED’s at the bottom of my keyboard so that it shows through the diffuser? Are all these mods possible using the keyboard that I have, or do I need to build a new one from scratch?

Hi

Thanks for your interests in our products.

Here are the layout options you asked
BBB Acrylic Case with RGB Diffuser
B.mini/B.miniR/B.mini X2/B.miniR X2 + $34.00
Screws:Silver(hex screw, +$0)
Enter Type:ANSI
Left Shift:2.25x
CapsLock Position:Majestouch(Center)
B.mini/B.miniEX Space Row:1.25X + 1.25X + 1.25X + 6.25X + 1X + 1X + 1X
Space Switch Position:Majestouch(Center)
Color Layer 1(2T):matte frost
Color Layer 2(3T):black opaque
Color Layer 5(5T):matte frost
Color Layer 5-1(2T):transparent

And…
For what is the LEDs?
For Lock keys?
Or Letter keys?

If they are for Lock keys, you need to change only LED color.
If for letter key, you have to change not only LEDs, but also resistors.

820 Ohm : generally used for white/pink LED
910 Ohm : generally used for blue/green LED
1300 Ohm : generally used for red/yellow/orange LED

And I have questions.
Are you going to use Choc Mini PCB with Winkeyless housing case?
If then, I can’t guarantee it fits into Winkeyless case.

Thanks.

Probably the LED at the bottom is RGB LED, not 1.8mm in-switch LED

(see http://blog.winkeyless.kr/186

Your PCB must have the holes for the RGB LEDs and firmware must support them.

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply! Yes, I meant LED’s for lock keys, and I was going to put a Choc Mini PCB in the housing, but I don’t think it will fit. Oh well, maybe I’ll buy an entire kit from you guys in the future!
