Custom RGB's on driverless keyboard?

[Sweaty Tryhard]

So I've recently bought a new full RGB mechanical keyboard. I'm very happy with it, but it has no drivers, so I was wondering if there is a program or if it is even possible, to have custom RGB lighting on it like some Razer or Corsair keyboards have. Currently it is somewhat customizable, I can change each key's color individually, but I can't add animations or more effects. If it helps, the keyboard is a Havit KB378L.

No driver needed, programming is not supported

You have to do it key by key.

The LEDs have no way of communicating with the computer.

Well if you code you might able to do it. If not i dont think they is software for your needs.

When I was uninformed and inexperienced with mechanical keyboards I fell for the general keyboard enthusiast opinion that driverless keyboards are superior to keyboards that need to have some kinda software running. 

 

6 months and 4 keyboards later... Driverless is great... if you're not a power user. Why?: I'm a software developer. Now I want a keyboard that has software with APIs and SDKs. Screw that driverless crap, I want my own program running that can update the state of the keyboard lighting without having to reflash the firmware. I want listeners on system.events and have my keyboard  dazzle me when windows is locked, and tone it down to reactive fade when I'm using it, and work as audio visualizer when I'm playing music. The enthusiasts will swear by driverless with everything onboard and pay extra for ICs and memory to achieve that goal. But I say the enthusiasts aren't as enthusiastic as I. 

 

Razer is great since they publish an SDK.

Corsair is meh since they allow for scripting in their CUE, and there are some unofficial APIs out there. Official support would be preferred.

Aw, well, somewhat disappointing response since I can't program my keyboard, but thanks!
