Am i doing something wrong? The RGB lights won't stay on. When i plug it in, all the lights do a start up spiral. So they clearly work. But they don't stay on as background lights while in use. I downloaded the software off Keebmonkey's site, but the lighting settings aren't changing anything on the keyboard. Any advice?

DeadPark121Have you tried updating the firmware, also found on Keeb's site? Outside of that, I'd contact their tech support. I haven't had any lighting issues, personally.

DarthChalupaYes, i wrote Keebmonkey support on the same day as well. Haven't heard back yet. So much for the 12 hour response time. Do you have a link to the firmware? I don't see it on the product page. Just the configuration software download.

DeadPark121I figured it out, try FN + \

PanzershawkThank you for the suggestion, but that did not work for me. I played around with it some more. For some reason the "Audio wave" backlight setting works. But all other light settings do nothing.

DeadPark121Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am having the same problem with mine now :(

PPangoSadly no. The audio wave setting is the only one that works for me, so i just left it on that. It's not what i want, but it's all it will give me.

DeadPark121Is there a way to turn on the audio wave setting? I guess I would settle for that, but I don't even know how to get just that one to turn on, haha

PPangoI had to download the software from the keebmonkey website.

DeadPark121My dude, I had the same issue as you, including only audiowave working, and finally found the answer. Fn + L toggles the light... It's that goddamn easy. That function apparently supersedes everything from the app except audio wave, I guess because it's an app-only function. That fn shortcut guide was in the shitty pamphlet you got with the board but for some godforsaken reason available anywhere online. I had to pause on an unboxing and zoom in to find the guide. https://youtu.be/n2G0eIjhr70?si=aRuWBbq7ilBfFN-a&t=179 That's pretty unacceptable IMO, but I guess that's just what happens when you roll the dice on a budget keyboard.

How to sell things on Drop & How Drop charge them?

Hi , this Kyle from China. Since a month ago, my team wanted to build a brand to produce the high quality of mechanical keyboard and headset to sell aboard. Now we already got the license to do so, and we can't wait to bring our products to meet everyone. But the products are still in the period of designing, it would take some time :( There are some questions we can't find the ways to solve - how to sell keyboard on Drop, and the details about how Drop charge per product? - Actually I sent an email to Drop Studio for some questions, but I didn't receive the answer.( Drop Studio also mentioned that they can contact me only if they were interested in my design / products ). So I'm here ask for help. If anyone can answer my question, I would really appreciate it :)
