Could I swap the Mini USB connector with a Micro USB connector without issues?

HenryIn generel: yes, you can. USB is independent of the connector type. But maybe you get in trouble with the case and the pcb because the connector has other measurements... BTW.: why you want to do this?!

CodingDespite smaller size micro-USB is sturdier than mini-USB.
IIRC mini-USB socket was designed to survive minimum of 10k plug-unplug cycles, in case of micro-USB it is over 100k cycles.
In case of mini-USB most of wear and tear appears on socket, it is different in case of micro-USB, where the plug wears-off. It is much easier to replace cable than to replace socket.

Codingksmigrod already explained the most important reason. In addition to that I have a lot of micro USB cables lying around while I don't have any spare mini USB cables. In fact there's only single mini USB cable in my whole apartment and it is used for a scanner. However, I doubt I'd bother to replace the connector unless it breaks but if it does, it's going to become a micro USB connector.

HenryCheck on the PCB that the micro USB connector will fit. They're through-hole components, so it has to be fairly exact.

How can I turn off the LED on my keyboard?

I just bought the drop akatsuki indigo keyboard and it's perfect when the LED's aren't on. I have tried everything to turn off the LEDs but I couldn't. Does the keyboard not support turning off the LED or what?

Flashing my new drop keyboard

Hello, I have received my new drop keyboard I was attempting to flash it using the Drop configurator software however when I do FN Left Control Backspace and use the flash function it disconnects. No matter what other flash option I choose my keyboard stops showing up in the configurator. The only option I found I can return to is the stock option. Sorry for my confusion I have never done this before.
