Just coming back from Hackaday Europe, where I showed my full RGB keyboard mod for the Supercon communicator badge. Custom front PCB with side emitting addressable LEDs and a custom resin-printed keyboard. Project write-up at hackaday.io, there's also a video with more details: https://hackaday.io/project/205750-communicator-badge-full-rgb-keyboard?mc_cid=c100339f64&mc_eid=d5c71569fd

Thanks everyone for the great feedback, it was an amazing event!
