Hello guys,
Some time ago I was gifted a weird keyboard (Strike 7 from Mad Catz) and I started to test it right now.
This keyboard get powered from two sources: an usb cable to pc (that powers some rgb on the keyboard and allows the communication between pc and keyboard) and an AC adapter.
Now, when the keyboard is connected via its AC adapter it provides some backfeed voltage to my pc via its usb cable. I tested this connecting a fan to the keyboard's usb and it was spinning like if it was connected to my pc.
Moreover when pc is correctly in a shut down state and disconnected from the electric socket, when my keyboard is both connected via its usb cable and ac adapter, the mainboard's green led is correctly switched on.
The whole point is: how much is safe all this?
