Reactive and Ripple
















Reactive is a very simple setting, similar to breathing. This setting makes it so that when you hit a key on the keyboard, it lights up the color that you choose. The only setting for this are the color and how long the color stays when you press a key.

Ripple is similar to wave with the settings it has, it has the option to change the color of the ripple, the speed of the ripple, the width of the ripple, and the pause between each ripple. You can also set this to trigger on key press or automatically. If set to automatic it repeatedly ripples in the center of the keyboard.

Wave and Breathing


Breathing allows you to have the keyboard fade between two colors of your choice at 3 different speed settings. You can also have this effect trigger on key press or just automatically start.

The wave setting is one of the one's that has many different options, you can change the amount of colors included in the wave, the speed of the wave, the width of the wave, the angle of the wave, and the pause time between each wave. You can also set this effect to trigger on key press or automatically, and you can split the wave in half.

Static and Spectrum Cycling





As you can see, if you set the lighting to static, the keyboard simply stays on the color you choose.











Spectrum cycling has no extra options, and just cycles through the color spectrum at a constant speed.

Configurator


This is the program that you use to configure the keyboard's lighting.
You can select certain keys to have certain effects set to them, and you can have different layers of effects.
There are six different effect types:
Breathing, Reactive, Ripple, Spectrum cycling, Static, and Wave.
I will go over each in detail in a separate post.
