Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 6, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2016 Currently, I have a Tt eSPORTS KB-PZR-KBBRUS-01 POSEIDON Z RGB Gaming Keyboard - Brown Switch Edition. And I love it, man. The keys are so different. The different default color choices. Backlight is awesome. BUT, the problem is, the software, using Wine, doesn't detect the keyboard. And I can't find any 3rd party software for it. So I cant set all the 16 million custom colors. IS there a keyboard out there that supports Linux? That I can control the colors? I've looked high and low on Google, but all the answers are old. Or talking about "is it supported" as in, do the keys work... If the keys can just be set to one color, brown, red, blue, white, that'd be more worth it. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Will it use the Razor software? [EDIT] I'll look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Well, the short answer is going to be 'not right now'. This is going to be a guess, but specialized hardware items like those are going to do things through USB that WINE isn't capable of just yet. That's why things like MagicJacks and stuff won't work. USB anything hasn't been a big priority ... So no, sadly. Not out of the box. The controller software doesn't have access through WINE USB Stack. But, that's one boss keyboard! Wow.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 6, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah, I figured it isn't a thing right now, just wanted to know what else is out there, if anything. I see Code keyboards support Linux, but they are a bit too pricey for me... Unobscured Vision 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted October 7, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted October 7, 2016 Holy Moley... I saw this on Woot.com: Corsair Gaming K95 CH-9000081-NA Mechanical Keyboard Cherry MX Red Was a Woot-off. It goes until they sell out. I snagged one. After I bought it, I saw it was $200 at Newegg, $150 at Amazon. I snagged this for $89.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816032 It has white backlit color, something i do like. I just couldn't pass this shet up... I mean, WOW... Either sell my Tt, or just use it for something else... 2 great keyboards, both under $100... (I'm liking my Tt, btw ) T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run into the same issue with my kb in Linux. It just runs the default blue. I am sure someone has rigged the Logitech sw to run in Linux but it takes more skills than I have.

Yeah, I read of ways to do that, too. Download this, this, and this, configure this, that, this, that. Just... stop... I think the gaming keys on there are programmable by the keyboard shortcuts setup. Don't quote me on that, though. T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 You just hit on the most frustrating thing of linux forums. When you have a question on how to do something - they always start with " all you have to do is just .." the its followed by 1/2 page of CLI hieroglyphs My response is .. "oh ? is that all ? And you people cant figure out why you have 1% acceptance ?" Then I go back to windows for about 6 months and try again Mindovermaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating indeed ... which is why I've been actively telling people to run Ubuntus/Fedoras/etc in a Hypervised instance on Windows for a while now. Do your general-use stuff in that, then Gaming/other stuff on the Windows side to mitigate the Security problems. No need to throw lettuce and tomatoes, big T.

I have a Corsair with Brown keys not quiet, they are good keyboards, everything Corsair sells is top notch. You can change the color per key.
