Per Profile Backlighting

The lighting customization options universally affect the G810 gaming keyboard by default. However, you can also configure lighting settings to be set on a per game profile basis.

To enable per profile backlighting: 

1. Click on the double left arrows in the top-right corner of the LGS window.

   

2. Check the box to Enable per profile backlighting. A list of active LGS game profiles will appear below the check box. 

   

   NOTE: The Default Profile is selected by default. 
3. Select a game from the list to begin configuring lighting settings for that game's profile. Click Scan for New Games to search your computer for recently installed games that may have associated game profiles in LGS.
