Logitech G513 Carbon

Recently I got myself a Logitech G513 Carbon keyboard with GX Blue switches. And I was positively surprised that there is a Linux software available for programming the key LEDs :-)

Basically you just have to install the g810-led package, read its documentation in /usr/sahre/doc/g810-led and you are good to go.

The usage is really simple, you can define a profile file to define all key colours and invoke the tool to load the profile with g513-led -p <filename>. For more information you can look at g513-led –help and g513-led –help-keys. Oh and other Logitech G keyboards are of course also supported.

This is my profile, feel free to use it for your own keyboard. I just put the command to load the profile in my boot sequence.
