Some time ago Das Keyboard launched a keyboard where each individual led could be configured to light up on the basis of some external input. https://www.daskeyboard.com/p/5q-cloud-connected-rgb-mechani...

So you could theoretically bind Slack status to a key (say your F1) key and have it turn red when there was an unread message.

I think that was/is a great solution to ambient awareness
