Project mention: Ducky Shine 7 ghosted backlights? | /r/DuckyKeyboard | 2023-11-26

EDIT - Additional Info: I do usually use third-party RGB controller software to modify the backlights, I didn't realise how limited the vanilla Ducky software is in customisability when I bought the keyboard, so I use Aurora RGB for this https://www.project-aurora.com

Project mention: [Der8auer] Fan Prices are getting out of Hand... | /r/hardware | 2023-06-29

Though instead of paying for Corsair's stuff, it's possible to spoof it with an Arduino.
