Logitech g502 proteus core

So i noticed while doing tracking for a new mouse pad the mouse lights up green but doesn't have the actual option to change its color. Is there a way I could glitch it or something to stay green? I don't wanna buy the same mouse but colorful

Wait, you have the non-RGB version and it's lightning up green, not blue?

It's called the proteus spectrum linus tech tips did a vid reviewing it

Managed to miss that somehow, maybe buy it this holiday season

I have the core though and not the spectrum. It only turns green for the mouse pad tracking test thing

Have the Core too, didn't notice it to be green during mouse pad testing. Will check later today, to see if my also turns green.

So looking online it appears that the blue of the G502 is produced using a BG (blue-green) led. This allows them to make their specific shade of blue using a combination of the two colors. It is a firmware control which turns off the blue portion of the DPI leds leaving the green you see while tuning. This is not something controlled by the drivers on the computer but rather a firmware controlled indicator that the mouse is in surface tuning mode (which I imagine involves mapping the surface at a high resolution) and not tracking mode. Theoretically you could rewrite the firmware on the mouse but that would be a massive project since there is no way to reprogram the controller without removing it from the board, and the lack of access to the existing firmware. You could take the mouse apart to replace the LEDs with colors of your choosing but that would void your warranty and possibly cause unintended operation.

Aww man. Thanks dude. I'd she'll put for the spectrum but is it really worth for some lights lol

Just did it with my mouse and the DPI LEDs do turn green when it's surface tuning. The logo stays blue. A LED diode do change color depending on the amount of voltage that's applied. The DPI LED is Green and Blue, this probably means it already have those 2 leads along with ground. All that's missing is probably the Red.
