begner Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hey Guys - i've managed to create an alternative Control Software for the K70RGB (possible the K65/K95 too - but untested) It's completely XML based config is easy to handle and powerful to use (its free of limitations of switching colors and animations on keypress and hold - unlinkt the CUE) - like Highlight some keys while pressing CTRL or CTRL-Shift. The only poroblem i've got: I've got only one German-Layout-Keyboard. Could some of you grab the software, copy the Layout.german.xml and create more Layoutfiles for that software? Or just playing around a bit? Suggestions, whishes and issuereporting are more than welcome :D Testet Win7/64, German Keyboardlayout... WORKS You could download the sources here: https://github.com/begner/K70Tray Direct download Package: https://github.com/begner/K70Tray/raw/master/K70Tray_latest_build.rar Regards Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

begner Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Like it? Create a Theme or Bugreports pls :) Most crashes rely on not catched xml errors. If it crashes - send the theme xml to me... So i could parse it more robust. Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

begner Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 I haven't tested yet but I have a k95 so we'll see how it goes .. I dont think it will work out of the box :( The USB identifier ist different. I'll try to add support in next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

begner Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 no worries good luck :) I'll try my very best. But i'll guess i should try to create K70 Profiles for different Layouts first and get this thing stable, before implementing K95 But anyway - i'll give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begner Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 v1.03 is out With lots of improovements - and ... an EXPERIMENTAL US Layout file :bigeyes: :sunglasse Let me know, if it's better now. BTW: It could be, that you need to adjust with the "led" values in the US.Theme file - i could not check if they're correct. Have fun - and post the results! Secondly: I've added EXPERIMENTAL Support for K95... I dont know if it works at all - just try and report! And - last but not least: The software creates a log.txt in the working directory. (thats where the exe file is) Forgot to mention: To try - just create a folder on Desktop. i dont know if the app gots file read/write permissions when in C:/ProgramFiles/ folder, etc Ive created a zip file - so you could download the complete package: https://github.com/begner/K70Tray/raw/master/K70Tray_release_1.03.zip Regards Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranceonline Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Great Work! Will test it at home after work ;) Super Arbeit! Werd ich gleich zu Hause mal testen ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerpuncher Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I can run the program with my K95, the G-keys are completely unutilized, but the rest works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! so that means - the keys wont work - (lack of macros) or the led does not lite up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerpuncher Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 really? Great! so that means - the keys wont work - (lack of macros) or the led does not lite up? Macros don't work and the LED's light up in sort of random colors (The G1 key is purple in one profile and red in another. Most others are plain white).

begner Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Macros don't work and the LED's light up in sort of random colors (The G1 key is purple in one profile and red in another. Most others are plain white). Yeah - that is because, there is no profile yet for the K95 in your layout... Go ahead and try to create one - it is not impossible :D Just playing around with led adresses and scancodes. Note: The scancodes will shown in the debug console activated with the checkmark. Note, the console will have limited content space - sometimes you need to clear it (with the button below). i will be glad if someone will create one. Macros: My Software is currently "light control only" - but it wont be "rocket sience" to implement some sort of macro function to it. My current challenge is to get the light control stable and powerful on much more Kxx Devices and Layouts. So please tell me: - Does the "rest" (k70 parts) works correctly? - Is the layout correctly mapped? - is the "rainbow" theme stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerpuncher Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 So please tell me: - Does the "rest" (k70 parts) works correctly? - Is the layout correctly mapped? - is the "rainbow" theme stable? - The rest work completely fine (I also have the DE-Layout so I can't comment on the US/UK-Layout. Both don't work at all, the kayboard just goes black and I have to restart the program) - Not sure what you mean by this, but everything seems normal - Works beautifully I did have some weird bug where the program would crash on startup every time. I re-extracted the program from the archive and it suddenly worked again. Note: The scancodes will shown in the debug console activated with the checkmark. Actually, it doesn't show the K95 specific keys when pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
begner Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 There see two posibilities: 1st: the config.xml (saved on Exit) was corrupt 2nd: this was the bug i'll try to fix since two weeks. But this bug only happens outside the debugger... So its hard to catch... Sometimes the app crashes at startup... Simply restart it. It can happen multiple times...
