Nice work! Did you change the switch tops with clear ones as well? Where did you connect the leds?

Yeah, I changed them with the clear ones. I connected the LEDs to the other LEDs (for ctrl/alt/win/shift).

The PCB has holes on every switch for a possible LED, so this mod took only a few minutes :D

That's a lot of holes hehe. Do you have any other plans for mods?

Nah. Not a fan of backlight actually. This was just playing around to see if it would work.

Awesome! Seems keyswitches + Keycaps work really well.

Yep! The switches add some extra glow. I wish I had some more of them.. actually running kinda low by now.

Good review Sixty. This looks like a nice keyboard, hopefully it won't be too hard to obtain. That wasd led mod looks really good too, love ClickClack's key caps and clear switch case is a nice touch.

The transparent clickclack keycaps are really great, I hope he puts them into production. He told me they were quite hard to make though, they take more effort than the triple shot caps, so if they do get produced at some point, I think you can expect them to be expensive.

Harder than the triple shots? What a surprise...

Clickclack needs to find a way to clone those gnomes he has making these keys... I would definitely get a handful of keys.
