Hiya guys, I really want to do a keyboard lighting mod..
I am imagining a keyboard with black keys, underlit with a green light
I have read about the el light mods and the wires that go under the keys, that seems easy enough to follow with the guides. But, the inverter is FREAKING LOUD. I have one. I got one that was for a car cigarette lighter plug, and rewired it to a molex conector, so its 12 volts. But I can hear it across 3 rooms.. No Way thats getting anywhere near me. The guides also say theirs are pretty loud.
So, are there any other options?
Any light wires that dont scream at me when I plug them in? I have really good hearing for high pitched whines.. i can hear a tv turn on from outside the house.. My roommates think im a mutant. And there is a computer monitor at work that puts out a whine.. I always have to run to it and THWACK it to make it quit, nobody else can hear it unless they are 3 feet from it.
So, on that note, I was thinking maybe some lazer led's.. or Led's. But that might be a little to complicated for me, but with a guide I could give it a shot.
I think it would look really cool, Any idea's would be appreciated. thanks
