That's my thinking.

you'd need to replace that with one that does support it, or a microcontroller

arduino to rescue dohohohoho(dont)

Like replacing the controller with a handful of ardiuno type shitters, perhaps.

then you'll most likely get into problems with the pins

so you'd need to either deadbug that or some other approach

@Tervy Don't? Why? 😬

too much effort/cost instead of replacing board

Perhaps. Might also be fun to fuck with for a while.

actually, you might also run into issues with the scanmatrix

so at that point you're down to basically making a new pcb and moving all the switches over

Although if one could simply source a plug-in controller...

getting into ship of theseus at that point

@Goz3rr That's my fear. And that shit is black magic to me.

oh

you know what might be feasible

check if your keyboard has ps/2 support

and either use that, or build a converter for it

Hm. Clever.

http://blog.komar.be/how-to-make-a-keyboard-the-matrix/ there is some shit about it tho if you really choice to experiment

Don't forget that I'm in Cuckistan. The price automatically doubles. ☹️

then its more the case

as i bet arduino would run you same "double price"

The AK50 would be nice if not for the gay rainbows

and lewd exposed sides

There's cheapo Arduino clones available from UK ebay sellers. Not chink cheap, but still reasonably priced.

>find the perfect looking keyboard on aliexpress

>its just the keycaps

message em and ask what keyboard they used in promo pics ? proft ?

Anyone tried Outemu Blue's?

God I hate RGB

Looks pretty good, despite rgb meme.

its not like anyone is forcing you to use the RGB

turn it off then

The funny thing is its not RGB, each row has a strip of single-coloured LEDs, so you can't turn them all blue for instance.

Its either gay rainbow or nothing
