From the project
Cherry MX Breakout Boards with reverse-mounted addressable RGB LED and hot-swap.
Both feature reverse-mounted addressable RGB LED LTST-A683CEGBW.
Both are hot-swap capable (Kailh Socket / Mill-Max 7305).
Mill-Max 7305 holes are compatible with standalone switches so they can be soldered directly to the board.
const int ledPin = 6; const int buttonPin = 7;
int ledHue = 0; const int ledSaturation = 255; const int ledBrightness = 255;
void setup() { pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); FastLED.addLeds(leds, 1); }
