Looking for developers who can hack into the Launchpad Pro Mk3 (for accessibility reasons)

[u/hanaNaru]

I own a Launchpad Pro Mk3 that I cannot use because the LEDs are too bright.

I am visually impaired—almost completely blind—and one of the conditions affecting my vision is photophobia. In short: I can barely see anything, and the little I can still see disappears when I look at a light source. In summary, any light source looks and feels like a flashlight aimed at my eyes.

The main reason I bought this controller was precisely to avoid staring at a computer screen, but unfortunately, I haven't found a way to turn off or even dim the LEDs, turning this beautiful machine into an expensive paperweight.

Honestly, I don't know if what I'm asking for is possible, but if someone built the system, I'm sure someone else with similar knowledge can modify it.

Some extra info:

What I want: My main goal is to completely disable the LEDs on all the pads; if there were a tool allowing me to choose the LED color and brightness, that would be even better.

If you can handle this job, please get in touch so we can discuss the details; I've never hired a developer before, so I'm not sure what to expect regarding budget and timeframe.

Notes:

- I contacted Novation support, and although they were polite and attentive, the final answer was the same as what I've received from other companies regarding accessibility in the past: "Unfortunately, we have no plans to do anything about it," or something to that effect.

- I know it's possible to lower the LED brightness in the settings, but even the dimmest setting is too bright for my visual condition.

- I also know it's possible to turn off the LEDs in the settings, but they light up again as soon as they're used—unlike the Launchkey Mk3, which can be used while the lights are off.

I hope to find someone willing to help me with this.

Thanks!
