LED backlit keys

[darthrookie]

Is there a plan for a future version with LED backlit keys? That would be IMO all this keyboard is missing. If I find the time I could edit the schematic and perhaps the PCB routing, but since I am new with keyboards, that could take some time since I am not familiar with common components and pin outs for this application.

Also perhaps a version with a dedicated "~" key. For a solution right now I was thinking on moving the ESC key to where DEL is, assign DEL as a secondary function of BACK, and put ~ where ESC is.

Most people will reassign ESC to CAPS LOCK.

As @dhanakane mentioned this can be done in VIA

Besides if you want a specific feature the best way to do it is by doing it yourself. That is by far the best thing about open source projects :)
