If you are a fan of sitting at night and playing in complete darkness, or often work at a computer at night, then you should be interested in the keyboard molding process, with which you can make the keyboard glow.
It is necessary
Superglue, "Moment" or any other that glues plastic, small clips, a flexible neon cord with a voltage of 9V and a length of 3m, in fact, the keyboard
Instructions
Step 1
Note that flexible neon hums a lot. This may be of concern to some users. Although if the computer has more than one fan, then the buzz of neon will not be annoying. In addition, the noise depends on the neon voltage (more voltage, more noise). We'll take neon at 9V.
Step 2
Our main task will be to lay flexible neon inside the keyboard between the buttons so that it goes around the entire keyboard along the contour. At least most of the keyboard will be illuminated by neon.
Step 3
Before laying the "backlight", bend the edges of the keyboard cover on the back side. This must be done in places where neon passes. If we don't take care of this beforehand, the keyboard cover won't snap into place.
Step 4
Now we start laying the flexible neon cord. Along the way, you should glue it to the board with glue. It is enough to do this through a few buttons.
Step 5
After laying the neon, we drill a hole on the back of our keyboard to bring out the "backlight" power wire. If the back of the keyboard is concave, then an inverter or battery pack can be placed there to power the neon cord. Or you can lengthen the wire and connect it to the wire of our keyboard, and install the power supply somewhere inside the system unit.
Step 6
A battery-powered inverter will allow the neon to run on a regular 9-volt battery. If there are no batteries or do not want to change them, you can do with a transformer connected to a special port in the inverter at one end, and to a regular outlet at the other. The transformer can be purchased at the radio market or at a thrift store. It will allow us to select the voltage from several values at once, starting with 3V and ending with 12V. So we can adjust the brightness of the backlight and the noise of the neon. You can switch the voltage even when the neon is working. The kit, along with the transformer, should include several plugs for different types of outlets. Choosing the right plug and enjoying the beautiful lighting.
