To anyone still having trouble getting the LED's to work properly on the Southpaw Extended 65%, I did a bit of trial and error and ended up with the following configuration which seems to work.
Following reconsiderit's programming guide in this thread, there are just a few additional steps in kai.tkg.io for the function and LED steps prior to flashing. Full disclosure, I've never used TKG or programmed a keyboard before in my life, so this may have been obvious to some, but I couldn't find anything online, so I wanted to put this down for anyone else struggling.
Function: I had to add a second Fn key, and set it up to toggle the underglow RGB LED's. This is located under "Built in Functions", as shown in the image below. This turns the underglow on and off.
LEDs: I got here with a good amount of trial and error, but all the led's seem to be working with the configuration shown below.
If there are any issues with the image (It's not displaying properly in the post preview) LEDs are as follows:
LED1 Active Low Indicator Num Lock (
do not check 'backlight')
LED2 Active Low Indicator Caps Lock (
do not check 'backlight')
LED3 Active Low None (
do not check 'backlight')
LED4 RGB LED Number of LED's = 9
I'm still waiting on keycaps and stabs before I can finalize my build, but I'll try to post some glamour shots when it's done! Thanks to reconsiderit for an awesome layout and all the work that went into (and is still going into) the GB!
Edit: One last thing I was trying but did not succeed on was getting the backlighting to toggle as well as the undgerglow. I tried setting up a third Fn key and utilized the TGK backlighting toggle feature (with 'backlight' checked for
LED3, but that didn't take. If anyone else has tried and was able to get the backlighting toggle-able, it'd be awesome to know!
