Title: Poker II Programming
Post by: techintosh12 on Wed, 10 December 2014, 19:28:04

Hi everyone,
I was originally planning to get a Ducky Mini, but the one I wanted (Silver with Browns) ran out of stock, and doesn't appear that it will be in stock anytime soon. Instead, I might be getting a Poker II.
However, I really like the reactive LED mode on the Ducky (Shine) Mini, and I was wondering if it is possible to program the Poker II to have the LEDs light up when a key is pressed.
Sorry if this is a dumb question :P I've never programmed a keyboard before, and only have owned one mechanical keyboard.

Thanks for any answers!

The "Programming" of the Poker II refers only to programming the layout fo the board, not actually programming the controller. Also, the controller in the Poker II is not capable of changing the individual brightness of each LED, only the overall brightness of all the LEDs, so even if you can reprogram the controller, you can't make it like the Ducky reactive modes.
