CM Rapid with frosty flake question

I have a little questions.
I bought a used CM Quickfire Rapid and it has a frosty flake controller installed. The F9s LED is always on and I do not know how to turn it off. Any ideas how I can find out how to disable or how to turn the LED off?
Thanks for your help,

I dont know. I bought the keyboard and plugged it in. Not sure what firmware is installed. How can I check?

You put a strong magnet on the keyboard directly above the controller until you hear the usual sound from Windows (or Linux or MacOs) that you hear when you disconnect the keyboard.
What happened?

Macs don't chirp with goofy notices when you connect or disconnect a keyboard. I think that's just a Windows thing. Like waiting for a driver every time you put it in a different USB port.

Oh, ok. That's unfortunate then. It's a very useful chirp.
OK Sev, if you have a Mac, you look whereever you have to look to see that the keyboard has been disconnected.

Yeah, I agree with Halvar on this one. Useful chirp indeed! It's certainly easier than eyeballing:
Code: Select all
while true; do dmesg | tail -n 5; sleep 5; done
in a terminal.

Easier than eyeballing the USB cable in your hand? Keyboards are active the moment the USB link is up!

watch is much nicer, but I can never remember what it's called so I always go for the low-tech version!
