I am expecting to see the colour of the key cluster backlight to change when I activate different layers. However, nothing happens. The key cluster just keeps lighting in the same colour all the time.

What am I doing wrong?

I also tried to configure per-key backlighting in Agent, and configure different backlight colours for the key cluster keys on each layer. However that also did not achieve anything.

I must be missing something essential.

RGB is not implemented on UHKv1.

Hm, this doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the docs.
Can’t even control the LEDs on the key cluster?

4

Not at the moment. .

5

Can I set constantRgb on the key cluster with UHKv1, or not control it at all? I mean it lights up, but how does it choose the colour and brightness?

6

I believe you can set brightness.

@maexxx Please open a firmware issue. The color of key cluster LEDs should be adjustable with the UHK 60 v1, too.
