frenk Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi folks, it looks like the K70 will be my next keyboard. As a programmer (and not so much of a gamer), I would love being able to use the backlight for "unusual" purposes. For example I would like to monitor a webservice and turn on or briefly flash the backlight when certain conditions are met (for ex. when a build is broken, a service is down, and similar stuff). This would be very easy if for example we had a simple command line executable to control the backlight. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I find useful applications. Probably it would not be so useful to gamers, but it would be a killer feature for programmers and geeks in general. Is there any way to achieve this?

Toasted Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the backlight to change when something occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenk Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 I know this is not a supported feature, but there's usually a difference between officially not possible and not possible :-). The big question is if the keyboard does have some support at all. The K90/K95 has a configuration software so it's likely that there's a signal that can be sent to turn the light on/off. And what about the K70, which comes without software? Any hardware expert to give his opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
