RGB LEDs

[Travis CampbellParticipant]

I’m making a new keyboard with the B.87 R PCB, and I want it to have full RGB. What should I order if I plan on doing all the soldering manually and I already have the switches? Also, are the “RGB Parts” RGB for the underglow or for the keycaps?

Hi

Do you have any reason to choose “B.87 R” , not “B.87”?

Non-R version(B.87) offers SMT options which is including
– Presoldered Controller parts
– Presoldered RGB LED parts
– Presoldered diodes and resistors.

I strongly recommend you to choose that unless you are not  very high-skilled in soldering.
(Controller parts and RGB LED chips are very tiny.)

If you really want to solder all of them by yourself,
you should add only parts
– PCB with controller parts + RGB LED parts + diodes + stabilizers
(If you want in-switch LED, additionally you should put in-switch LED and resistors into cart.)

– a set of housing case

I don’t offer keycaps or USB cable.

Thank you, what is the difference between the b.87  R and the b.87? Also, what are the size specifications on it like key spacing and dimensions?

[flashteker@gmail.comKeymaster]

The difference is only in-switch led position.

Ok, thank you for the help. What is the difference between the two diode options on the b. 87 R PCB / Which ones should I buy? Also, if the PCB is not compatible with my case, is there any return policy?

Hi

There is no difference except “look”.
I think either is OK.

And… sorry. There is no return policy.
It is not a ready-made order but custom.
Only If it has any defect, I’ll send you a new one or refund it.
(So compatibility is not a case for refund or return.)

Thanks.
