Actually, that could work really well with a wireless keyboard! OK it is just short-range remote control, but cheep enough!

I remember how easy it is to control these lights through BIOS, though
And a windows API (can probably forget win95 compatibility now): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/127190

It wouldn't be difficult to run say a small electromagnet from the same battery pack as the keyboard electronics, or run the keyboard from a subset of a bigger battery chain (common ground) if you need higher voltage.

The windows API is how my program does it.

Anyway I didn't even touch it today, a lot of crap is going on and it's keeping me busy.

Hello?? Just found this and wanted to add...
I have been using an OlimexESP8266 EV Board for several weeks now. It works great over wireless or direct usb. The downloadable instructions are the BEST that I've found, and it was really simple to set up.
I've been using Arduino interface, though it says it can run through any type programing. I am NOT a programmer, sooo, still trying to set up programs.
I would appreciate any help available!
