Did not even know you could get hot glue in more colors than one

Any reason using one of @Helders All in one PCB's with this pi3 build would cause a problem? Seems like it would save a considerable amount of space etc considering no more teensy, or audio amp etc.

The LED buttons are a fun feature. How are you planning on controlling them and will it be interactive?

na they are just slow changing RGB led's and will add it to a switch inside so you can turn on or off to save power...

Could you specify what size LED's you went with and what size resistors used please. The pictures show it but for us noobs out here actual specs would be awesome! Thank you!

The only thing i can think off is there room between the battery and the keyboard because when i had the wires over it was crushing it. so IMO i dont think there is room unless you use smaller size battery or make the battery sit lower in the case.

sure....

they are 5mm RBG slow changing led's but you will need to add a 100 - 150 ohm resistor on each led, (don't total them up and use one cos it wont work.)

I've been looking into this myself, because there doesn't seem to be a good way to make a compact slider for the RGB LEDs colors.

So far this is the best I've found.

You can strip off the out coating and wire it up probably pretty easy. Here's what the bare board looks like:

Awesome build!! I love how you inserted the RPI3, i'm thinking on doing this in my future build, cause I have a RPi2 that I don't actually use lol. And the leds are incredible!!
