There’s no need to save your preset as long as you have an effect selected from the “Effect” drop-down and keep the LightSync tab on the “FreeStyle” option, it’ll stay intact. You should see the changes reflected in real time.You can try to do the same, or select your own color and group of keys. In this case, I’ve selected the “WASD” keys, which are usually reserved for character movement. In this example, I’ve chosen a dark blue, and I will then click on the “Fill A Group” button, allowing me to select a group of keys instead of manually “painting” each one. Next, use “Color Brush” to select a color from the color picker you can also enter your own HTML hex color code.

Click on “Freestyle” instead of “Animations” for a static effect. Let’s say that we don’t want to start off with an animated keyboard effect. Using the G513 keyboard, I’m going to show you how I created my own simple effect that highlights some of the keys I use in-game.You can also control the cycle process by clicking on the “Cycle” drop-down and selecting “Reverse Cycle,” “Cycle,” “Bounce,” or “Random.” A speed slider sitting right below the keyboard visual on the app allows you to control the speed of the given effect in milliseconds.A few examples include: “Contrastic” for alternating colors between zones “Verticool,” which blends warm and cold colors vertically and “Ocean Wave,” which uses blue and brown / white keys to initiate tides crashing on a sandy beach. From here, you’ll see an “Effect” drop-down that includes several preset effects.

If you want an animated LightSync effect, navigate to and click on the “Animations” tab.

You can also select and save different effects by clicking and using the “Effect” drop-down menu. From the “LightSync” tab, select “Freestyle.” You’ll see options in the sidebar that allow you to use the “Color Brush” to digitally paint over specific keys, “Quick Color” options that automatically highlight the WASD keys, number key row, function key row, modifier keys, and the arrow keys.
