Signal RGB: User builds huge screen from RGB keyboards

In many PC builds today, RGB lighting is fundamental and the majority of the components are at least available as illuminated versions. However, there is one issue that stands in the way of a synced RGB build. The software of the individual end devices. The mainboard manufacturer would like to have its own software installed, the main memory needs a different proprietary program than the graphics card, keyboard and mouse again and in the end umpteen different programs are installed, but they don’t want to or can’t work together properly and that’s RGB immersion not optimal.

To solve such problems, there are programs like Open RGB or Signal RGB, which have the potential for all sorts of complex configurations. A keyboard wall made of 40 Whirlwind FX Element V2s has now been built with Signal RGB, which can be fully controlled via the software. The entire build process and the problems that arose are captured in a video. The keyboards were wall mounted on a black cloth pad to appear as if they were floating.

Four nails were used for each keyboard. Since the PC used did not have enough USB ports, four USB hubs with power connections were used to connect all the keyboards. They were then all configured in Signal RGB in their appropriate assembly order, and various effects, games and music videos were used as lighting templates.

Although the usefulness of this project can be questioned, the result is nevertheless impressive. Thanks to Signal RGB, the number of keyboards can be assigned many different patterns, games or video clips, which are then only played back via the illuminated keys and are definitely recognizable.
