* Use the round key in the center of the top row marked with a ''sun'' to set the keyboard backlight level in 4 steps.
* Use the round key in the center of the top row marked with a ''sun'' to set the keyboard backlight level in 4 steps.
* Use the round key in the left of the top row marked with a ''keyboard'' to switch between ''backlight on'' and ''programmed backlight''.
* Use the round key in the left of the top row marked with a ''keyboard'' to switch between ''backlight on'' and ''programmed backlight''. In ''backlight on'' mode all backlights will be ''on''. In ''programmed backlight'' mode only those backlights that you have selected will be on.
* Press and hold the round key in the left of the top row marked with a ''keyboard'' to change which keys are ''on'' and which keys are ''off'' in programmed mode. Watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au2D8GnGlPw this video] for a demonstration.

== Das Keyboard 4Q ==
The Das keyboard allows far more advanced programming of keys. The photo on the right shows how the Das Keyboard can be programmed to react to the key mapping of the experiment. Some participants are instructed to press the ''E'' key for a green stimulus and the ''I'' key for a blue stimulus. For other participants it is the other way around. These instructions are shown at the start of the experiment. The keyboard backlights are used as a constant reminder of the instructions.

=== Setting key backlights from Python ===
=== Setting key backlights from Python, the easy way ===
The easiest way is to use the daskeyboard [https://gitlab.socsci.ru.nl/wilberth/daskeyboard Python library]. Just put the file [https://gitlab.socsci.ru.nl/wilberth/daskeyboard/-/raw/master/daskeyboard.py?inline=false daskeyboard.py] in the same directory as the experiment and use:
<source lang="python">
import daskeyboard
daskeyboard.keyColor("g", "blue") # G key becomes blue
</source>
=== Setting key backlights from Python, the hard way ===
What is done below the hood is that your python code calls a restful deamon that controls the keyboard:
<source lang="python">
<source lang="python">
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#!/usr/bin/env python3

== Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 ==
The K70 RGB MK.2 also has advanced backlight capabilities. The keyboard is similar to the K70 without RGB backlight, but has software controllable RGB backlighting.
Install the [https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next ckb-next] software. Open the user interface and select the [https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/wiki/Animations#pipe Pipe animation]. From your experiment you can now simply make the g key red with (in bash):
echo "rgb g:ff0000ff" > /tmp/ckbpipe000
or (in Python):
with open("/tmp/ckbpipe000", "w") as k70:
print("rgb g:ff0000ff", file=k70)
