i threw an entire can of deoxit at that razer keyboard and it was still underwhelming

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

the LED is driven by a resistor maybe i can just delete the resistor and put it back if i want to ever use bluetooth mode (hahahahaha i would never)

[jevinskie@mastodon.social]

@ariadne that is what I like to phrase as "optimizing the BOM"

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@jevinskie they could have optimized the BOM by selling me a keyboard sans the bluetooth crap

@ariadne Temporary solution: electrical tape
Permanent solution: black nail polish

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@crowbriarhexe there is a switch for wired verses wireless mode, i am just going to use a relay or something to only power the LED in wireless mode (which i will never use)

[tknarr@mstdn.social]

@ariadne I'm surprised they don't allow programming the 3 LEDs through the firmware like they do the backlight.

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@tknarr the status LEDs are handled by the backlight on this model

@ariadne Keychron keyboards are widely used in professional settings in South Korea.

[equinox@chaos.social]

@ariadne I ordered a Keychron a few days ago, because this:
https://github.com/Keychron/Keychron-Keyboards-Hardware-Design

I likely won't do anything with those files, but still, that is a nice move. (Also the reviews were good and I need a keyboard.)

Hasn't arrived yet tho 🥲

[sbszine@dice.camp]

@ariadne @tknarr What model did you go for?

[curiousicae@tech.lgbt]

Electrical Tape
