Once the keyboard is recognized, you will have exact control over color and brightness through the software. Step 3 Locate a tile Keyboard backlight on Windows mobility center. Once you find this application click and open. Step 2 Control panel will be visible on the screen, locate Windows mobility center. You can select one of the default settings. Step 1 Click the Start button, type cp, and then press Enter. Step 4: The Configuration Window should open on the left side of the screen. Step 3: Click the Config button in the lower-left corner. Step 2: Click on the MSI Per-Key RGB Keyboard option.Here, you’ll see all your keyboard and Lighting default settings. The final option is to press the brightness button a couple of times to reduce it to zero (off), if that is easier than the mixed lighting. Step 1: Open the Start menu and search for SteelSeries Engine3. I cannot remember what #3 is, but the slower color cycle might be better with more time in visible shades. Profile 2 is going to be the fast moving and erratic “rain”. If you have a “profile switch” key on the top row near the brightness button (same as volume and media controls), it may cycle between 3 hardware modes, each with different lighting. However, one immediate source of relief might be if the K55 has more than one stored profile. iCUE is required to change the lighting, so the non-recognition problem has to get solved. Unfortunately for you in this case, the Spiral Rainbow is the default lighting pattern. Sometimes devices get a bit lost and revert to default behavior if they go a while without power.

If the PC/iCUE does not recognize the keyboard, you may need to make sure your motherboard (chipset) drivers are up to date. I do not have the user guide or box as they were both lost in my move. I've tried pressing FN + 9 (and basically every number combo and iCUE doesn't register my keyboard). I don't know what happened with my settings or how to even access such setting to change the color. I can barely type because i have to wait for the keys to light up yellow and green to see them (i can't really see them when they're red or blue). This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so fast. Now i just updated my computer and when it restarted it must have fudged the settings and now my keyboard won't stop cycling through the rainbow. To change the color, you will need to use a color filter to filter the light with a color. Its just an array of LEDs turned on to light up the keyboard. It was fine at first, i plugged it in and the lights were off and that was fine but then i plugged it in again when i moved and had to set up my pc again and suddenly it's a colored keyboard (it was a solid color pattern of like purple and orange and teal or something, i didn't chose it though i really liked it). There is nothing controlling the color of the light. So i've had this keyboard (K55) for about a year or so.
