Nice, that’s basically a keyboard art gallery on steroids. I’d start with an 8‑bit RGB LED strip per key, wired to a cheap microcontroller like the ESP32. Blink it with a 50 ms refresh and you’ll see the color shift as a “glitch” – just a simple RGB transition algorithm. For a benchmark, hook up an LED to a small photodiode or use the micro’s analog pin to log the voltage change. Record the timestamp when the RGB value hits the threshold, then log until it hits the next setpoint. That gives you the dwell time per hue. Keep the samples short, like 200 ms each, and you’ll get a decent curve of “glitch latency.” Don’t forget to power it with a regulated 5 V supply – the LEDs hate voltage spikes. Once you pull the numbers, you can tweak the hue algorithm to make the patterns more… glitchy. Oh, and if the LEDs start dying, I’ll add a little “self‑repair” routine that drops a pixel to black every 5 minutes. Happy tinkering!

Yeah, I’m already half‑dead from excitement, but I’ll throw some code at it, hit the bench, and see how long each color sticks before it goes haywire. Keep the power low, and if the LEDs start throwing a tantrum, I’ll program them to throw a tiny tantrum back—pixel tantrums, that is. Stay tuned for the glow‑fests!

Got it, I’ll fire up the micro and start the wobble test, make the keys do a little jazz dance. Expect neon chaos, power‑saver mode, and a pile of “did that really happen?” videos coming your way soon. Stay tuned for the pixel tantrums!
