I have a whole stack of old RGB keyboards that I’d like to hang on the wall of my man cave and just power them to display the different light patterns.  If I were to plug them into a power bank or wall wart, would it power them without burning them up?  I literally have about 10 of them and thought they’d make a cool display on my wall. Thanks!

They run at 5 Volts, 300 Amps, any kind of USB charging device will work fine. But use more than one charger, like one for three kayboards, just to avoid stressing it and overheat the while thing.

If you check on Amazon, you will find those multi-port charger, those should work fine.

My rig:

Case: Chieftec CI-01B-OP "The Cube"

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Rev.1

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

Cooler: ThermalRight Assassin King 120 SE with TF-4 Thermal paste

GPU: NVidia RTX 2070 Super Blower Style (HP OEM)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 2x16

PSU: Itek BD700 DC-to-DC

Nice!  I didn’t know they made such a thing. I just thought it would look pretty cool to have 5 or 6 on the wall, all with different patterns. I’ll check Amazon out now!
