Communicator Badge Full RGB Keyboard

Description

The 2025/2026 Hackaday badge was modded with a custom front PCB containing 73 addressable LED (one per key) and a custom resin-printed keyboard with semi-transparent keys. The front-PCB and the keyboard are compatible with the original stackup and just replace the original components. The addressable LEDs are connected to a GPIO from the badge CPU and controlled via Micropython.
