According to this announcement: https://wooting.io/post/wootility-update-introducing-the-background-service -we should be able to completely disable the background services on the keyboard. Please advice how to disable service, without having to download and install irrevelant client software and relinquishunrelated control on my desktop.

you dont install the background service to begin with and thats it
its an optional separate software so wootility doesnt need to be installed but can keep being used as web as well

What Liq is asking I think is if it's possible to block any communication that doesn't specifically come from Wootility. Through any SDK or otherwise?
void walrus
The idea of my keyboard just eagerly awaiting some software to connect to it makes me sad
brave tendon
it doesnt
and we have no option to disable SDK communications. would probbaly break some of wootility as well as it also uses parts of the SDK
void walrus
it doesnt
hm, maybe the solution could be documented better or it could just be a question about UX. Cause this makes me think otherwise:
(cant post pic, hit by slowmode)
brave tendon
should only be 5seconds

im a bit confused how it can be more clear its not even installed beyond this
void walrus
but honestly its mostly boils down to me being confused about the perspective of the service. I saw it as a new thing running on the keyboard -and not being aware of wooting keyboards already having some form of api endpoint active already
brave tendon
not an api endpoint
but USB commands
if these didnt exist you wouldnt be able to configure the device
void walrus
Im aware you need to send some form of command to flip devices into dfu mode etc. if wooting does something similiar
so you're saying that the Background Service, if installed, would be communicating with the keyboard via regular usb commands as well?
void walrus
interesting and informative, thank you
there's no blog post or any technical paper describing this in anyway? just to please my curoisity
