Drunkdeer A75 now has option to change RGB in Turbo Mode!
For those who weren't aware like myself, or have moved onto other boards due to this issue (stupid, I know.), the most recent driver update enables you to not only change the color the keyboard uses with turbo mode enabled, but recolor individual keys as well, more akin to the Wooting tachyon mode.

Has there been any major attempt to move away from qwerty in the early computer days?
I am doing a research paper for a design history class. I am not trying to become a researcher this project is a once in a program thing that just happens to be the thing i suck the most at.
My subject is about the history, ups and down of the qwerty layout. I know there have been other layouts in the typewriter era, but have there been any major commercial attempt in the COMPUTER era at moving away from qwerty? I feel like I recall IBM really pushing one at one point but it failed miserably but I can't find anything. Any input that could give me a hand would be gladly appreciated. If you have links to reliable sources for them i will buy you a big mac
I have like 7 days left but don't worry its not for the whole paper it's just for the research part
