Linux Cooler Master Storm Combo LEDs:

Spoiler

There are two ways. You can create keyboard shortcuts to turn on the leds and turn them off, or a script that will automatically turn the leds on at boot. They are both easy ways. The shortcut way requires you to use your native Linux Keyboard shortcut settings (usually within "system settings" and then "keyboard") and then click the + sign and call it CM On.

 

Next type "xset led 3" for turning the led on. Now hit apply and then click the new key until it changes from "disable" to "accelerated". Now while you still have it highlighted, press the key you would like to trigger the led. I use Scroll Lock, the original button.

 

Now for turning off the led, you can't use the same button. It will over write the previous. So make a new command, call it "CM Off" and then put in the Command box "xset -led 3" without quotes. Hit apply and then assign the key to whatever you want that isn't already being use. For me, I used left ALT+SCRLK.

 

Boom. You can also set the same command as a startup, so that the leds are on at boot.

 

For the script first, download these two files (I made these in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; not sure how it will function in other distros):

 

1. http://www.filedropper.com/cmstormled

2. http://www.filedropper.com/cmstormled_1

 

Now set file one in the following location: /home (or anywhere you want but I prefer here. If you intend to change the location, please edit the file to direct toward your new location)

And set file two in the following location: /etc/xdg/autostart/ (location CANNOT be changed)

 

Another way would be to edit the file "/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf" and add the line "greeter-setup-script= xset led 3". Of all of that without quotes!

 

Please keep in mind that you can only use one method!
