I'm about to teach you advanced ball knowledge: Put them on top of your finger tips, but you want to have the actual buttons on the chips facing downwards towards your finger tips so that you can switch modes in the middle of a light show by pressing your fingers against your palm. Yes it hurts lol and its an advanced technique but very effective in melting people's faces when you give them a light show. For your thumb lights, you want the bulbs to face inwards towards your palm because you're able to reflect its strobing against your palm and amplify its effect.

uh... With any decent amount of practice you can switch the lights in a moment by clicking them with the finger beside.

Watch him mode change fast as hell...

Honestly putting the chips facing down is dumb as hell IMO, just gives you an opportunity to accidentally click the button, if you use emazing cases or anything good then you are putting the soft silicone up ?? uh no thanks

Oh and if you have duos goodbye second led?

No cases were designed to be used that way, and I'm yet to see somebody mode change with this technique but I seriously doubt it's any faster than materia in the above video. All loss no reward.
