matching component needed. Particularly re height restriction.

Alternative(?): use rear-mounted LED shining from other side of PCB 
through a hole. Problem: change direction of beam 90° to shine 
sideways into lightspreader of domesheet

RGB 3.0*1.3*0.43mm  ~1.00EUR/1; 0.43 height seems in tolerance, 3.0 
width TBC

(not compatible with N900 LED driver concept which only supports 6 
LED via LP5523. This however would sum up to 18 LEDs. Needs further 
consideration, but highly desirable property of changeable kbd BL 
color. Add a few(3) LP5523 (EUR2.44/1)? )

seems we have a few choices (and I don't claim I found all, not even 
in digikey) :-)

go for 6* RGB MSL0201RGBW1CT-ND, add 2 pcs lp5523 on same I2C bus 
(supports 4 distinct I2C addr via 2 ADDR-config pins). Move all kbd 
LED to the 2 new lp5523, leaving original lp5523 with indicator RGB 
and 6 open outputs usable  to our liking. 
kbd backlight in fremantle is controlled by mce which recently got 
RE'd, so sw side is no problem

Unfortunately the LED proposed has a common Anode but we need common 
Cathode for the LP5523.

We can either look for different LEDs. What about 
http://rohmfs.rohm.com/en/products/databook/datasheet/opto/led/chip_m
ulti/msl0101.pdf - but there is no stock at the usual distributors.

Or we use a different LED driver (e.g. TCA6507).
