Use a gaming keyboard as a decoration.

[rcrez]

I have a gaming keyboard I want on as a decoration. It lights up well when used with a computer, but not at all when plugged into a USB charger.

Any options I have?

nope. they probably dont enable unless the data wires are detected, which chargers dont have. if you really must have it as decoration, maybe stick a RPi on the back of it or youd have to run a wire...

You could buy a dirt cheap mini PC and install the keyboard's RGB software and let it run 24/7 (or however long you want).

If the LEDs are all wired together internally (not individually controllable), then it would probably be pretty easy to open it up and solder +5V straight to them.
