====== Logitech G513 Carbon ======
Recently I got myself a [[https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-keyboards/g513-backlit-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html|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 [[https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led|g810-led]] [[https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=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.

<file bash g513-profile>
