Terminal board I got bored with. Sure, it was gorgeous and clean and felt wonderful. But it was boring. So I swapped over some keycaps and left the super awesome ones, added in the number pad "+" key, and decided to utilize the controllers status LED capability by lighting the Caps/Scroll/Num keys from underneath.

I think it looks absolutely freaking cool. The bee's knees, if you will.

It's rather subtle in normal lighting, and incredibly epic looking in low light.

What a beauty! Really great restoration work. That's pretty much my dream non-industrial M right there. Now we just need Unicomp to make some windowed lock keys!

I hate LEDs but I love amber LEDs

This is awesome! I recently got a full-size terminal M like this, seems like I have some work to do.

Agreed! The amber LEDs on the Olivetti are so charming

Also great mod, phosphorglow. Love your work.

Really great work What glue do you use for such things?

The only LEDs I like are the ones on my Lock keys

Nice work! looks really good

Thanks! ^_^

The glue is my best friend: hot glue!

Where did you get your LEDs? What part number? I really like that color!

From my baggy of LED's that I've had since I was a geeky little kiddo.
