Onboard memory
The Pro Gaming Keyboard features onboard memory to store lighting effects. This comes in handy if you need to use a computer that does not have LGS installed. At the time of release, you can only store one Freestyle or Zones layout on the keyboard’s memory. For more information, read Access lighting effects on the Pro Gaming Keyboard.
Per-profile backlighting
The lighting customization options universally affect the Pro Gaming Keyboard by default. However, you can also configure lighting settings to be set on a per-profile basis.
To enable per-profile backlighting:
- Click on the double left arrows in the top-right corner of the LGS window.
- Check the box to Enable per profile backlighting. A list of active LGS game profiles will appear.
NOTE: The Default Profile is selected by default.
- 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. If your game is not automatically associated, see Scan For New Games does not detect game in Logitech Gaming Software.
