Thanks! I can confirm the brightness of LEDs: I went for the Massdrop ALT (the 60% brother of the CTRL). Although I didn't buy it for the lightshow, it's been a great conversation starter at work.

Back to programming the keyboard: all I've really ended up doing is mapping PrintScreen to Fn+P (remember, fewer keys on my board, so no physical PrintScreen). I've also been playing with what qmk calls a "tap dance" [1]. I use it to have my Control key be left control when just pressed once, but when I double-tap it, it becomes Right Control (which the board also lacks a physical key for, and it's useful in VirtualBox).

I've also been toying with the idea to program the LEDs to display a ripple effect, where everytime you press a key, a ripple of light spreads out. Maybe something like that already exists, but I'd like to try programming it myself, if time permits.
