Keyboard LEDs

beeny

So i have a CM storm TK and ahve changed the switches from red to blue and in doing so i saw that the LEDs are easy to replace, are there any good combinations with different coloured leds that i could have to change up the look of my keyboard as i am a bit bored of the red and black scheme that doesnt really fit with the rest of my build

Well you could swap the reds out for any other single colour LED I suppose.  White, Blue, purple, green, etc. whatever you can find.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

well any of those would be good then, just pick one and swap out the red leds for the new ones.  make sure they're the same size and resistance, etc.

probably not a measurement you'll find on any spec sheet tbh, you'd have to measure them yourself.  Thing is, they're diodes, so that might not be as simple as taking a single reading "in a vacuum"

Like, a tiled pattern?  I guess you'd swap some with blues and some with whites, increasing the white:blue ratio as you move downward.
