Track internet connection activity with the lights on the keyboard

In one of the last posts, I wrote how to set your keyboard to light up. Now I will show you how to set the lights on the keyboard to light up when you receive or send data to the Internet.

First, you need to download a small program of only 75kb from THIS link. Unzip the archive and run the NetworkLights.exe file

Installation is not required, it is enough to run the mentioned icon and it will automatically go down to the system tray.

If you are using a USB keyboard, it is advisable to set the program to do so.

Right-click on the icon located in the system tray, and select options. Now tick the "USB keyboard..." option

You can also choose which two lights you want to light.

Note: If you let one of these two lights be Num Lock, then the numbers on the right will not work for you.

Save the settings and that would be it.
