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 ->
