About This Poster

This chapter names RGB LED zones like "the WASD keys" or "the function row" in prose — this poster gives a physical reference for where those named zones sit on a real keyboard.

How to Use

• Explore — hover or tap a numbered marker to read about that zone or part.
• Quiz — test whether you can identify each zone from a visual hint alone.
• Edit mode — open main.html?edit=true to drag markers and recalibrate positions once the poster image is generated.
