You can perhaps try RS Components as well for the leds.As someone who has never really soldered... how hard does this look to someone with more experience? I am considering replacing some of the burned-out RGB LEDs (only blue is dead, strangely) on my Logitech keyboard.
Apparently you can order some SMD 0402 RGB LED's (1010) from ebay or Aliexpress (still need to find the exact same listing).

I want to try and replace a few leds on my K95 as well. I think I found the correct leds at RS Components. Rs components
I'm not to sure how difficult the replacement would be though
Hey man, I don't live far away and I can help you out if you'd like. Might be worth checking robotics.org.za, they're right out in TechnoparkAs someone who has never really soldered... how hard does this look to someone with more experience?

Flux is for the weak, RaziaMake sure you buy flux! It's going to make it a lot better. That and a temperature controlled soldering iron
If it helps, I have experience soldering SMD diodes on my sofleThanks, @Cujo26 ! Will remember when the time comes. Might also have another friend willing to help, who has soldered his own switches before, so at least he knows more than me.
I ordered the LED's from eBay (seller on Aliexpress does not accept PayPal), who knows how long they will take to arrive. Even if I end up destroying the board, I am going to take the chance to fix it. Looking at the board right now, I would need to replace 5 LED's. Luckily, I ordered 50 LED's.
And thanks @Razia , I will now google "what is flux".
I see exactly zero reason not toHowsit gents, I am back from my tech break!
Super excited to finish my atreus build, been itching to pick up a soldering iron...
Time to FINALLY sort out some stabs as well.
Also, thoughts on desoldering a perfectly good Ducky to install some lubed Gat Yellows?
I knew I could come here for support!I see exactly zero reason not to

The browns have been bothering me in that board for quite a while now, it is time.
What are you using there to lube your stabs? I need to sort out my rattle-ly stabs too :<
Listen if you have browns in a board it's a class A emergency to get rid of the bloody things
I use Krytox on the stab housing and dielectric grease on the wires and to plug the butt
But.... I just ordered a new keyboard with browns, because I love them tactile feeeels!
Zelios V2. Get it , love it, live it.But.... I just ordered a new keyboard with browns, because I love them tactile feeeels!

I got mine from @Keyboard Kulture along with his lube kit, I think the RS Electronics silicone grease apparently works well tooDielectric grease from a local store? Or did you have to import that like Krytox?
Yeah nah facebook can go heck itself heyToo all those waiting so patiently for me to actually announce and release stuff, my humble apologies. I was setting up a FaceBook store so that buying items would be easier. I had loaded all the products and made it look super pretty, was just waiting for final approval from Facebook, and then they declined it!! Absolutely no idea why, but I decided their and then that running a store on Facebook was gonna be more trouble than its worth!!
Alas, I had initially started building an e-commerce site on Shopify, and I'm now back to setting that up. It should be finished this week, just a lot of admin to get everything redone, but I promise it will be worth it!!
I cannot wait to show you guys what we've been up to 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My apologies for the delay.
BTW 🖕🏻to Facebook
DudeYeah nah facebook can go heck itself hey
Trusty Krytox for the housings, and then the pictured dielectric (silicone) grease from RS Components.What are you using there to lube your stabs? I need to sort out my rattle-ly stabs too :<
Well, browns is like the shitty weed your neighbour's kid has on hand. It gets the job done, and gives you the idea of what it could be. Then something like holy pandas or box navy's are the finest heroin you can find.But.... I just ordered a new keyboard with browns, because I love them tactile feeeels!
Hah, I think I understand, but what's a set of holy pandas going for... R2000? Eeesh, wife would kill me.Well, browns is like the shitty weed your neighbour's kid has on hand.
