Is it possible to have RGB sleep on Drop Alt High Profile?

Mar 11, 202178 VIEWS

I have a Drop Alt High Profile mechanical keyboard and was just curious as to if there is any way to put the RGB lighting to sleep when my laptop and external monitor go to sleep? I have a Razer Blade 15 laptop and Samsung Odyssey G7 external monitor that both go to sleep after 15 minutes of no use, and was just wondering if there is a way to set it up so that the RGB lighting on my keyboard goes to sleep and wakes up at the same time my laptop and monitor do.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be of much help to you, but my low-profile ALT's RGB does turn off when my computer does to sleep. I've made no changes to this behavior / it's how it has always been for me out of the box :/

Is your keyboard plugged directly into your computer or into a hub / monitor passthrough? What about your mouse? At least for troubleshooting purposes, try seeing if your ALT keyboard can wake up your laptop from sleep when plugged directly into your computer (if it isn't already). I noticed that my ALT can wake up my computer from sleep as long as the keyboard always stays plugged into the computer. If my computer goes to sleep, then I unplug the keyboard & plug it back in, it will not be able to wake up the computer up from sleep until after I wake up the computer then put it to sleep again. So based off of this, if your keyboard is plugged into your monitor's hun or something when the computer sends the signal to your monitor to sleep, if your monitor cuts power (effectively unplugs) your keyboard for even a second, it's possible that your ALT won't be able to wake up your computer. When my ALT has been unplugged from a sleeping computer & plugged back in, I'll see a flashing orange LED in the LED strip around the case of the keyboard (this is when the keyboard will be unable to wake up the computer). If don't unplug the keyboard when the computer goes to sleep, this orange LED will not appear. Do you see this blinking orange LED on your keyboard when it is unable to wake up your computer?

pkennethvMy Alt keyboard is plugged in via the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable directly to my laptop. My Logitech Pro Wireless mouse, the USB receiver is plugged in via a standard USB-A port on the Razer Chroma stand.

*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard

I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Polymer clay

Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?

Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?

Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?
