Does this support the k585, specifically setting individual key colors on profiles m2-m4?

I've been using openrgb but can only do m1 profile.

From what I can tell all the features are working with the -A option supplied for this keyboard.

Only two issues I can see is perhaps a color code representation issue. For example FFFFFF is more of a yellow gold rather than a white. Second issue is after a reboot the keyboard turns off after a few seconds of inactivity. I deleted the udev rule, rebooted, and unplugged/replugged the keyboard and it resumed to work as normal. Not sure if this was a bug due to my linux install or the software.

I have not tested key mapping or macros on this keyboard because of the advisories of them being broken.

Is there a testing process that one can go through to check which features the keyboard supports etc.

Thanks

It'd be very helpful to know how to create custom patterns, especially ones like pulse and reactive patterns.

If you accept the risk of permanent damage to the keyboard, type YES and press enter to continue.
Anything else will cancel this process.
At this point the keyboard is completely non-responsive, so I used another keyboard to enter "YES" and hit enter.
After that the keyboard works as normal, without any remapping of the keys.

I'm trying to swap the menu key out for a key in the F13-F24 range (I need a key for push-to-talk that doesn't conflict with anything else, so modifiers are a no-go) so I ran a custom.keymap with this in it:
[keymap]
menu=f13

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, if it is confused by the second keyboard (issue happened with or without, I just couldn't type anything without it), or if its just not compatible with this model.

Edit:
I tried the config using the case sensitive names originally, and then moved to lowercase to see if it was case-sensitive. The above is the last variation I tried.

I don't know if this is the right place to make this question, but here it goes: There is any plan to add support to Redragon Draconic keyboard ?

ps.: if there isn't the place please close this issue.

Could not detect keyboard, check hardware and permissions.
Try with the --bus and --device options.

I get this even if I use the bus/device args.

Hello, cool project!

I decided to make an issue because i found that my keyboard (Ajazz AK33, pid 0x7903 ) has a pretty similar (maybe even the same) firmware to the ones you're targeting. i wrote a library + gui to control it that works reasonably well. I will probably grab a couple of the things you're doing that seem to work a little better from very short tests :) .

I was also wondering if you know anything about setting lighting non-permanenly, like the corsair / logitech / razer keyboards allow you to do. The end goal was to add these boards to Aurora for game integration and such but that isnt possible if we're always writing colors to the flash (also, how long does the your program take to set a custom pattern to all the keys at once? I am using windows and haven't had a chance to test it yet)

I will try to get this running on my arch install and will get back to you if it indeed works the same as my tool.

Tested on: Kubuntu 20.10

1. Set active profile 1, 2 or 3

As long as you set profile once and leave it at that, these work fine, great job!

I can set modify them from the original software on Windows and they persist as they are stored on the keyboard.

2. Manual options, e.g.

rgb_keyboard --color 00ff00

It doesn't take any new color.

3. Freeze/Crash

What happens every 3rd or 4th command is it freezes keyboard, which makes the keyboard not work until restart (with only half of the lights on). The last time it also somehow changed the color to green after restart.

Is there a way track any logs to find something out?

I don't know if this is the right place to leave this message, but I'm just here to report that this program works on this keyboard. It needs the --ajazzak33 option, though.

I'm running it on Arch Linux. No issues found.

    while executing

Hei, nice project, Thanks to this I bought a new keyboard :) .
I cant get it work. The keyboard is Redragon k552-kr kumara the lsusb gives me this:

Hello it says that this software is compatabile with the redragon surara k582 keyboard but in my case it doesn't detect the hardware.
It keeps giving me can't detect hardware or permission errors even if i I use sudo to try and run the ./rgb_keyboard commands.

I'm using Popos 24 as my linux operating system is that why it isn't being detected ?

using lsusb I get this
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 320f:5000 Evision RGB Keyboard

Hey, this is a really cool project.

It's somewhat working with my K556 Devarajas (--ajazzak33 required to work), I'm able to set brightness, speed, and colours and trigger the preset patters, but I'm unable to set specific key colours with --custom-keys or set use --custom-pattern.

Using --custom-keys does nothing at all, and using --custom-pattern sets a really weird preset, always the same regardless of what input file I use. For example, using /dev/null as the input file still gives the same result

rgb_keyboard --ajazzak33 --custom-pattern /dev/null

Any suggestions for how I could troubleshoot this to get it working?

Tested on US layout variant.

What works:

• Profile switching, applying to profile
• Mode (pattern), colour, speed, direction assigning
• Brightness values correctly identified (0-5)

Unsure:

• Reactive colour mode variant (how is it supposed to work?)
• Keymapping and key names; haven't tested it
• Report rate; unsure what's the default as control transfer mode was enabled by default

What doesn't work:

• Custom pattern; using the example configuration, many keys get assigned a colour, however big colourless gaps occur and it is clear that the keys are wrong

I noticed that, whenever i try to remap a key the keymap ends up remapping my whole keyboard (spacebar becomes "m" and so on). I am using a an ISO 60% GMMK, so im thinking the ISO layout might be the problem.

I want to install rgb_keyboard on Arch Linux without making difficult-to-reverse systemwide changes through sudo make install. I noticed that another of your repos (https://github.com/dokutan/mouse_m908) has a PKGBUILD. Is it possible to adapt it for this repo and publish it to the AUR?

I'm currently building a PKGBUILD for rgb-keyboard-git to install the latest Git commit, unlike the mouse_m908 PKGBUILD which only installs a specific release. As a result, I'm researching pkgver(), and got lost documenting Arch's pkgver comparison algorithm (bad code consisting of layers of cruft and C string manipulation). Finishing this documentation will be slower than adapting a PKGBUILD directly (which I'm not motivated to do).

Problem

Whenever I try to load a color profile the wrong keys are affected. For instance, a change in key "5" would affect the key "2", a change in the key "f" would affect the key "delete" and so on...

Diagnostic

It seems that this keyboard uses a different set of keycodes. I mapped which codes were related to which keys. I also found that there were some keys whose codes were not defined in data.cpp.

Solution

After discovering the codes for all the keys (good old brute force), I changed the data.cpp file and recompiled. It worked perfectly!

data.cpp.gz

Hey, I wanted to control my RGB with my GMMK TKL keyboard. I can change from the active profiles but doing anything else either completely turns off the RGB on the keyboard or does nothing (running from sudo).

the lsusb output is:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45:652f Microdia Backlit Gaming Keyboard

If I don't run with sudo I get this:
Could not open keyboard, check hardware and permissions. Try with or without the --kernel-driver option.
(the --kernel-driver flag also does nothing).

Any help would be much appreciated.

not even a issue, but you have any link to some custom patterns?

I have a Redragon YAMA K550 keyboard. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to work with it at all.

Is there any testing/debugging I can do, or output I can post, to help get it working? Would be amazing to be able to control the lighting for this kb from Linux.

I'm running Arch if it makes any difference.

Hi I was wondering if it'll be possible to add support for the Redragon Shiva K512. Upon running rgb_keyboard --list-keys arg it outputs Could not detect keyboard, check hardware and permissions.
This is what I get from lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0c45:672e Microdia USB DEVICE
Please let me know if any more info is required

I tried running some other commands, running -c 00ff00 makes all keys green and i can change brightness and default color effect

I noticed running --brightness to anything above 4 would disable the keyboard lighting, only 1-4 works

Hi there,

I have a Redragon SURARA K582 keyboard, and I would like to add support for it. I have set up a VM and wireguard, but the issue is that I have no idea what interactions with the software I should actually capture since "start the capture, trigger some action, stop the capture, save if needed, repeat" is not really that helpful.

Output of lsusb -v -s 001:004 (if needed): https://pastebin.com/8CLK93hH

The command rgb_keyboard.exe -r --kernel-driver returns:

Active profile: 1

Profile 1:
Led mode: unknown
Direction: right
Color: 11f06f
Brightness: 1735287116
Speed: 1
Report rate: 125 Hz

Profile 2:
Led mode: unknown
Direction: right
Color: fbe96f
Brightness: 50
Speed: 1
Report rate: 125 Hz

Profile 3:
Led mode: horizontal-wave
Direction: right
Color: 10f06f
Brightness: 0
Speed: 3
Report rate: 125 Hz

However this result never changes, even if I manually change the active profile, colour values, etc. For example, after changing the Hz to 250, re-running the command still returns Report rate: 125 Hz.

None of the commands that change the values (such as changing profile, or key colours, etc.) do anything. No console output.

Using a Phantom Tecware TK ISO keyboard.

The GMMK seems to take about 100ms on average to change a key color. Image
I checked the delays like this Image

Is it possible to asynchronously update the keys, or does it just not work like that?

I've tried running the official software for comparison and it seems they managed to get a shorter response time, quarter-half second to change all the keys, while rgb_keyboard takes about 4-5 seconds.

Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but I'm trying to implement custom animation, and the delay limits me to only using a few keys at a time.

I could probably log the packets from the official software if you tell me how. (windows vm)

Note: When I spam color change info at the gmmk, it randomly crashes sometimes (the rgb part reboots)
