This listing is for a single (1 pcs) SK68xx mini-E - Addressable RGB LED

This component is intended as an addon option for building mechanical keyboards such as Lotus 58 Glow. Both SK68xx mini-E type RGB's are fully interchangeable and fit all the keyboards offered. Keep in mind though, that you cannot MIX the two, as you quite likely will blow up the SK6803 LED's before the SK6812 LED's are even fully turned on!

This LED is primarily used for mounting underneath each key, for per-key adressable RGB. Also used for RGB Glow on Lotus 58 Glow v1.26 -> & v1.33 ->

Specifications

SK6812 mini-E

More power hungry, and eye-searing brightness avaialable for the true RGB enthusiast! This is ideal for 5V operation, and more or less needs a level shifter for use with an RP2040.

• Product name SK6812 mini-E
• SMD 3528 3.2x2.8x1.78 mm
• 3.7-5.5V DC working voltage
• RGB(24-bit), 256 gray level
• Full color pallet available above 20% brightness.
• <1mA static power consumption (This is what the communication draws, so even unlit!)
• Minimal power consumption (Power needed to light up) ~2 mA per RGB channel plus static power draw, 3-7 mA total per LED.
• Nominal power consumption (White @ ~50% brightness) ~20 mA
• Max power consumption 12 mA per channel plus static power draw, ~37 mA total per LED.

SK6803 mini-E

Less power neeeded, and better colors at low brightness, a better choice for discrete RGB! This is much better for 3.3V operation, and can work well with an RP2040 without a level shifter, although using one is recommended.

• Product name SK6803 mini-E
• SMD 3528 3.2x2.8x1.78 mm
• 3.4-5.5V DC working voltage
• RGB(24-bit), 256 gray level
• Full color pallet available above 10% brightness.
• <1mA static power consumption (This is what the communication draws, so even unlit!)
• Minimal power consumption (Power needed to light up) ~0.75 mA per channel plus static power draw, 1.5-3.5 mA total per LED.
• Nominal power consumption (White @ 50% brightness) ~5.5 mA
• Max power consumption 3 mA per channel plus static power draw, ~10 mA total per LED.

Please Note! When ordering RGB LED's for building a keyboard kit, its advisable to order a few (1-2 pcs) extra's as RGB's are easily damaged when soldering, especially if you are a beginner.

Normal handling time is 3 - 5 working days, not including build items (Those usually take 1 - 2 weeks).

Shipping is done with insured/signed for parcels, where no such service is available the parcel is sent as insured parcel, but may not be fully traceable the entire transit. If no insured or traceable service is available, parcels will be sent as uninsured/untraceable at the buyers responsibility. All of which is clearly stated on checkout.

All packets are represented to courier services and customs at their true sale value, and all responsibility for import fees, taxes and tariffs lie with the buyer.

The SE/EU "Act on Distance Contracts and Off-Premises Contracts (SFS 2005:59)" allows returns of the items in undamaged (unsoldered!) condition within 14 days of receiving it. Return shipping on returned items are the responsibility of the buyer.
