Title: About PokerX LED mods
Post by: IMHB on Sun, 13 October 2013, 00:12:19

So trying to just put LED on QWERDF keys on my PokerX.....I know I should connect them to the LED on the esc button...but exactly how....

Can anyone help me out? A specific detailed picture of the back of PCB would be highly appreciated.

Lots of Thanks!

Jocelyn,

To activate the WASD LEDs, do you simply turn on the "Esc / ~" function setting?

Yes, enabling Esc Lock (FN+Q) enables all five LEDS.

Now to think about this...I want to add LED to all the letter keys now...so pretty much the 33 keys at the middle of the keyboard....

So do I still do the same thing? just connect all them up to Esc or the 4 LEDs on the right corner? I mean...do I have to add a resistor or something.....?

Well I don't have any knowledge in electric-related stuff....I can do is solder and de-solder...someone help me out? :P
