Here is a video of ripster carefully soldering a control ship onto a pcb by his own design, for use by the ripster mini keyboard.

As I thought then, thanksThe Solutor wrote:MartZink wrote:Should I connect the LEDs directly to the USB power, or should I connect them to the PCB LED rail?
If I connect it to PCB, then I will still be able to use the 5 light modes right?
Use the already made led rail, then follow the rail that already powers the single led present and try to understand where they need to be interconnected.
Likely there will be a place to put a resistor or a jumper.
Also, I looked around a bit for custom keycaps, kecapsdirect is quite expensive I've heard if I want to have a custom keycap.
Anyone who knows around how much it would cost to order a few keycaps from there? Or do the price depend a lot on how it's made?
Sorry if that have been asked hundreds of times, but hey I'm a noob so it's okay right?

Quantity. One set costs almost as much as 10. Setup costs. I don't remember exactly the last time I saw a complete quote, but I think one set was like $900. But at a hundred, you're down to only tens of dollars per set. The group buy guys will be able to give you a more accurate answer.

Likely. Hungary was not discovered by an Italian and named after another Italian, like America.
Also Budaspest is not named after a third Italian like the city where you live...

There is a compelling theory that America is named after a Welshman, Richard Amerike. Some people believe this to be more likely as it would be very unusual for a country to be named after the Christian name of someone who wasn't a monarch.The Solutor wrote:Hungary was not discovered by an Italian and named after another Italian, like America.

BTW is always interesting to read about those alternative story, likely are just retrofitted but still interesting.

Well the LED, unlike the incandescence lamp or the phone, was invented in America w/o any doubts, so America matters to have a backlit keyboard

I don't know how Vespuccia sounds for an English ear, in Italian sounds very laughable, maybe was the case at the time...
Of course.Of course nobody can prove anything so it's just a bit of trivia to be debated by academics.

Vespuccia would mean "little/tiny/tender wasp" or "little/tiny/tender vespa" (intended as the well known motorscooter).

We in the British Empire and former Colonies and Dominions measure potential difference in (tons per Faraday)(miles per hour)², which grants us a vastly better intuitive understanding than the opaque "Volt" of the French system.webwit wrote:Pah, you don't even know what those metric symbols mean on that fluke.
