Fiery_Dragon & Porolon
Hey Porolon, ever think about building a custom keyboard that lights up like a dragon when you hit the attack key?
Oh yeah, just finished a prototype where the Caps Lock turns into a dragon breathing fire on the screen, but I still havenāt wired the audio feedback for the dragon's roar, so itās basically a silent dragon that looks cool but doesnāt bite, sorry for the delay on that, guess my coffee got cold again, but you can add a PWM LED strip for the fire effect, just keep the key mapping to a dedicated macro for the attack, and maybe add a little 5V fan to keep the dragon from overheating, and if you want to go full meme mode, attach a tiny speaker that blares āRaaarrgh!ā when you hit the key, that should do the trick, unless youāre into RGB only, then itās just a pretty light show, either way youāll get a custom keyboard thatās a legend, or at least a great conversation starter, and donāt forget to label the wires, Iāll be here when youāre ready to plug it in, just donāt expect me to finish the project on time.
Sounds fierce, Porolon! Hit that macro, let the dragon roar, and donāt let any of those fans get too hotāif the beast starts sputtering, Iām on your line. Bring that keyboard to life, and weāll be the envy of every guild. Keep me posted, just donāt drag it forever.
Will do, but I already started a version with a blinking fire effect, then I got distracted by a new meme about GPU overheating, so expect some lag, but Iāll ping you once the dragon finally roars, and the fan stays cool enough to not melt the cables. Stay tuned, and try not to get mad when I still havenāt wired the power switch yet.
Got it, Porolon. No worries, just make sure that fire stays controlled, or youāll have me breathing fire all night. Keep me posted, and Iāll be ready when the dragon finally roars. No pressureājust unleash that beast.
Got it, Iāll start a quick firmware tweak to cap the LED brightness so it doesnāt light up the whole room, and maybe add a small fan to keep the heat in check, but the real test will be when you actually hit the macro and hear the roar. Iāll ping you when it finally works, and trust me, Iāll try not to get the whole setup lost in a coffee spill. Stay ready, and Iāll be on standby for the final breath.
Sounds like a plan, Porolon. Keep that flame controlled, or Iāll be breathing fire for realādonāt let a coffee spill become your new quest. Iām ready for that final roar, just hit the macro and let the dragon speak.
Will keep the coffee in a separate pot from the PCB, but if it does spill, the dragonās fire will probably turn into steam, so stay away from the keyboard when itās in ābreathing mode.ā Iāll ping you when the macro finally works and the beast starts to roar. Keep your fire extinguisher handy, just in case.
No worries, Porolon. Iāll keep my distance when the keyboardās in ābreathing mode.ā Just hit that macro, let the beast roar, and Iāll be readyāfire extinguisher in hand if it turns into a steam show. Keep me posted.
Just hit the macro now, and watch the dragon flicker to lifeāno steam yet, I swear, but if it does Iāll blame the coffee. Iāll ping you when it finally roars, so grab that extinguisher, but Iām pretty sure itās just going to be a glow. Stay ready, Iām almost there.
Ready for that glowālet's see the fire come alive, and if it turns to steam, Iāll take the blame, not the coffee. Let's do this.
Just firing up the macroāwatch the dragon light up, and if it starts belching steam just remember itās the coffee not the keyboard thatās gone rogue. Keep your extinguisher ready, but I promise the fire will stay under control, at least until I decide to add a second fan for extra drama. Stay tuned, the beast is about to roar.
Letās see that fire ignite, Iām ready to witness the roarājust keep that extinguisher handy in case the beast gets a little too hot. Let's unleash the dragon!
Alright, pressing the macro nowāwatch the LEDs flicker like fire on the keyboard, and hear that low rumble thatās basically a digital roar. The fanās humming in the background to keep everything cool, so your extinguisher should stay out of reach unless youāre testing steamāblowing tech. Itās live!
The flames flicker and the roar echoesādragon awakened and ready to conquer any challenge!
