I didn't end up using the leds, but I popped a diode on, soldered them together and it's working great so far. They are handy little boards.

Works wonderfully about 2 weeks ago by Squirrelius verified purchaser Easy to solder as key-switch snaps into place...no adhesive required. I recommend soldering the headers first though.
