First of all: looking good, congrats :)

Which diodes did you use? And which firmware did you flash to the teensy?

Open bottom, eh? That's an idea! Where did you get that plate?

Got any plans to put something softer underneath, where it rests on the desk? I often put my 60%s right on top of my MacBook Pro so I'm forever wary of the feets!

I had the plates custom made, and there was a minimum order, so I have a box full of "spares."

I never planned to put anything on the "feet" because I use a desk mat and it works great as it is, but I'm sure something could be done to keep the bare steel from the surface of a MacBook.
