did this work for you without any issue?

Just realized I didn't quote you... sorry. Look at the post above this one.

I actually haven't tried it yet... I've been a little busy lately. I just got some breadboards though, and have a week off from school in a week, so hopefully I can try it out soon.

I'll make sure to post here when I get around to it.

@Torpedoes, you are right, after I posted the schematic I looked back at it and thought it didn't make too much sense. So I made this one (I just didn't post it because I assumed the thread was dead and that nobody would care for it, guess I was wrong):

Some notes about it: I have very limited knowledge about electricity (pretty much only Ohm's Law because Grade 11 ), so I wouldn't try this until I do. I've ordered the parts I need but it'll be about a month till they get here, but when they do get here, I will certainly try it. Also I changed the resistor values, and took out the 220ohm resistors as I didn't really see their purpose. I get that they are supposed to provide a dummy load, but doesn't the voltage divider also do that?

Hi, thanks for the awesome guide ! I'm all set on the parts and since i'm going to be running this on a C6H, a corsair 570X case and 6xSP120 fans there isn't any changes to make it work on my end.
However, even though i believe i have a decent understanding of we're doing here but i didn't quite get your voltage divider from 12V to 5V. Refering to my drawing, you put 2.8k (a 2.7k and a 100) in R1 and a 1k in R2 ? By my count that would give a little over 3V max output voltage. Or perhaps you put 2x 1k in R2 which would give us exactly 5V ? Or perhaps you did your divider a way i don't know about ?

 

Thanks.

This was my understanding (sorry if I'm not using the correct schematic symbols 

I've been using the CM Storm Devastator for almost a year now, and it's alright, but it's membrane. I've always wanted a mechanical keyboard, plus it has RGB lighting! Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
