Just in case it makes any difference, the system that the new version worked with the with the instructions. had a corsair keyboard. The z690 had a Logitech keyboard with its own software. To be clear the I think instructions given are completely correct and appreciated. After I configured my maximus hero XI with strafe RBG MK.2 it worked as said. I could not get it to work on my Z690. I was probably just a frustrated bonehead but 4.25 gave the desired results in a much more straight forward way to me.
