skyfire Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My asus laptop has the RGB keyboard. But to be honest I find it distracting. I mean for gaming you need more RAM and Graphics card power instead of RGB keyboard. I honestly dont find glitter and shiny lights as gaming worthy. Is it just me?

Kane99 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 RGB keyboard is just an added bonus I think. Can you change the type of color and brightness? Your laptop should have options to change it, unless that's not an option. I got a HyperX RGB keyboard. It has a bunch of options from multiple colors, to breathing, blinking, and even allows you to just have a static white light. I like having it because it helps me see easier in the dark, and I am on my PC at night a lot. But I can understand it being distracting for some. I know my keyboard has a brightness toggle and you can even turn it off completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiMirfi Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 These keyboards are just a cosmetic upgrade. Making the gaming experience better. In my opinion, I like these keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @Kane99 said your laptop should have some software for controlling your RGB keyboard and other devices. Assuming it's a an ASUS ROG Laptop them it's likely to be ASUS AURA SYNC Ultility. See if you have that installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an ASUS TUF gaming laptop and the software to control the RGB keyboard was NOT installed by default. I never bothered to check before because I was happy enough with the default setting, but having looked at this thread I got curious and I had to install said software myself. The software I downloaded for my laptop is Aura Core, whereas I think that the software @Crazycrab recommended is actually for PC's to sync multiple RGB devices together rather than an in-built keyboard, but it can't hurt to try it anyway. EDIT. Scrub what I said, Aura Core doesn't work. Try the software @Crazycrab suggested instead. Edited September 29, 2020 by Shagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yes what I have done is installed Aura sync and set the color to black. It worked. Honestly not a fan of flashy LEDs and the RGB keyboard. I love the specs of such laptops except this flashy part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people prefer standard keyboards, maybe with just a white backlit keyboard. I think I would prefer that for a laptop, but a desktop I'd go with RGB. I like them because I like how it looks. 😄 I have LED strips under my desk and at one time had some LEDs on the back of my TV. I eventually wanted to put some under my bed and around the rest of my room lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yes the thing is as much as I like gaming, I hate flashy stuff. And another part is that I use same gaming laptop for work as well. And I hate to be distracted with thoe buttons flashing while my mind is on work. I guess I am not young anymore to like flashy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
