Single Key Lightning

[Loopios7]

Hey Guys,

I have a Razer Deathstalker Chroma and I want to light up single keys, I know it has only 3 lightning zones but in some games there are only some keys in an other color becuase of the chroma apps function so it is not a hardware limitation.

My question is if there are any programms to change single keys because they count as chroma apps?

 

Thanks

With Razer you can create chroma apps that control ligthning of your keyboard, this is implemented in some games. With this function in some games( for example; fractured space) the keys arent lightened in these 3 zones that you can only light different, but some inbetween are a different color.

sry I cant explain it that well in english

ja, hab selber eine Razer ornata tastatur, die ich nur gekauft habe weil ich bei der deathstalker das mit den 3 zonen absolut mist fand.

Und es wäre mir völlig neu dass man die tasten individuell beleuchten kann, wie es aufdem bild oben zu sehen ist. (irgendiwe schon halb gelogen mit dem wave effect)

Was du evtl meinst ist dass man nur die tasten beleuchtet die es wirklich brauchen und andere ausläst. Das bedeutet dann aber das theoretisch (wie du bereits gesagt hast) das mit den 3 zonen nur eine software limitation ist.

Deshalb weiß ich nicht in wieweit man das umgehen könnte wenn man eine choma app programmiert, da diese ja direkt auf die razer treiber zugreift die dann evtl alles wieder auf 3 zonen herunterbrechen.

I've got a Razer Ornata keboard, and I didn't buy the Deathstalker because of the 3 zone limitation, that sucks.
It would be new to me that it's possible to light keys individual on this keyboard, like on the picture above (kind of false advertising?)

Maybe you mean that only keys that should be colored differently light up, and evening else just turns off.

this may be possible on Linux, there is a pretty active Razer driver developer scene for it. I talked to one of the developers via discord, and they always appreciate help, feedback and suggestions. Talk to them, and maybe they´ll experiment a bit. When it works on Linux, it may work on Windows too.

Ok thanks, could I have their contact maybe?

but before you contact them privately, try it on a Ubuntu or Arch distro. If it won't work, make at an open question.

pretty straigt forward. Mostly copy, paste & enter in the command line.

And with the razer commander you can test if its possible to light keys individually

You might be able to use Aurora if Windows makes you more comfortable.

Aurora won´t work, checked some forums online and apparently aurora only works with a few games with the deathstalker. But thanks tho
