Interesting idea, but the generic green PCB is a bit of a missed opportunity. Some manufacturers now offer transparent solder masks which emphasize the copper traces and can look really cool with a clean PCB layout.

It's also becoming possible to have transparent rigid PCBs as of quite recently: https://www.pcbway.com/blog/News/Transparent_Rigid_PCBs_Laun...

Naturally it does mean you can't have a ground pour, so the PCB needs to be designed to look nice with it.

This sounds sick, I looked for a photo and couldn't find one that seemed to be this specifically, just lots of the flexible ones, do you know if there's a photo ref somewhere?

Worth noting that it's nine times the price (according to the link you posted)

Pcbs are super cheap, 9x $2 is still cheap
