That's incredible, must have taken a while for all the wiring and circuitry.

Holy crap, I was looking into the non-backlit version, but this is definitely worth it.

@MrStealthist Do note that this keyboard has been heavily modified to make the backlighting a lot more customizable; the stock keyboard lights all keys simultaneously with varying brightness levels, similar to the modes shown from 0:47 to 0:52. The stock keyboard goes about as dim, but goes about twice to three times as bright on the upper end; I reduced the maximum brightness for my modified one as there's no conceivable reason I'd need it so blazingly intense.

I have to ask if you know what this keyboard have that the original dont?

[siberx4]

@TheQuiroz5 Considering I modified it, I would hope I know what's different ;)

The original keyboard could only adjust the brightness of all LEDs together - everything was either off, or 4 levels of brightness with every key the same. Modified, I can individually control each LED both in terms of being on/off and its brightness. This allows me to display any information/pattern I can think of with the LEDs in the keys.
