Quoted from spooky_dj:The LED strips do have a tinted plastic above them, shielding the eyes of the player.
If anyone is bothered by the look of the bare LEDs you can always yoink them off and sleeve them in silicone. I use silicone sleeved LEDs for sign making, and it's an awesome diffuser, utterly transforms the look of the lights. Would be an easy mod, and would up the visual of the game quite a bit, both in the lighting and not having the "look" of bare LED strips.
I'm out on buying pins these days, but if I were to get this game that would be a must-do thing day one for me personally. Only trick is gluing silicone is a pita, so it might need some 3D printed clips or something. Totally doable though. (Edit: looking at the photo again it kind of looks like they're already using clips? Would need new ones that were thicker, but if so could use the same mounting points, making it even cleaner of an install.)
Anyways, aside from that really kick ass art package, love the theme. Good luck to all the buyers and Spooky.
Maybe you can't really see them from a player angle, just going off the video and photos, but the exposed strip look isn't for me
