My Request: Lily58 Pro Glow (LEDs + Kailh Sockets)

Lily58 Pro Glow which will have both Kailh Sockets, and per key LEDs

Lily58L (Sold by keycapsss. Has LEDs + Kailh Sockets + Encoder)

Best case scenario. The design is not free though. To buy a pair of PCBs is not possible in the USA and costs $28 Euros.

What is a Kailh Socket?

Picture: Kailh sockets soldered onto a PCB along with SMD Diode and SMD LED.

A Kailh socket soldered on a PCB gives a person the ability to swap out any mechanical keyboard switch they want without soldering. The ability to do this makes it hot-swappable. Typically on a normal mechanical keyboard switches are soldered to the PCB and have to be desoldered to change switches. With the Kailh socket soldering and desoldering is not necessary to change switches.
