After installing the application and during the first run, the program will attempt to install one of the two drivers it can manage for RGB keyboards.
For ite8921r3-ctl compatible keyboards:
This is the most comprehensive driver for computers like the TITAN. With this driver, the keyboard allows:
• Switch on/off the backlight
• Change brightness level
• Set a fixed color
• Switch between all the available effects. There is also a button to open the effect folder, in case you dare to code your own effects :)
The lightbar pane will give you options to perform these actions:
• Switch on/off the backlight
• Switch on/off rainbow mode
• Set a fixed color mode (requires rainbow mode disabled to work)
For non-ite8921r3-ctl compatible keyboards:
For single zone RGB Keyboards, Slimbook RGB Keyboard will let you enable/disable the backlight, cycle through any of the 10 available brightness levels and set a fixed color.
