Custom made Backlit Keyboard Clock

[GnolLeahcim]

Hey guys & gals. First topic I'm making here! Just finished making myself a Backlit Keyboard Clock. I like it but I think I should have used diffused LEDs for the backlighting as the current ones seem a bit blinding and can make it difficult to read the time. Maybe if I try again I'll do it as I do have some diffused green LEDs. Anyway, thought I'd share it with you all.

 

(Currently being held with with my helping hands as a stand, actually quite like it.)

 

 

EDIT: Thanks for moving to the correct board. Wasn't 100% sure when I posted.

I was thinking I could maybe have RGB LEDs then you could choose colour, but that would add a whole new level of difficulty for me when it took me long enough to figure this out. lol. Maybe I'll try red in my next attempt.

you can carefully sand leds to make them a little diffused

That's good to know. Might not do it to this one as I've hot glue'd everything down.
