Turn on RGB Keyboard lights

[Alake]

Hello,

So I've finally got tired of the windows garbage everything and made the leap to linux.

Im very happy with everything apart from one specific thing, I cannot enable my keyboard lights, ive googled and tried pretty much every resolution that I could find to no avail, im not Jeff bezos so I cant afford decent or "popular" periferals that's why I'm stuck with an aliexpress keyboard, so for example openrgb does not work with it.

Honestly I don't care that the function buttons don't work or if I don't have a fancy rgb layout, all I want is to have a back-lit keyboard so I can actually see what I'm pressing.

Any ideas?

Cheers

For my Logitech keyboard I use g810-led and for my Corsair keyboard I use ckb-next.

Same problem that I have with openrgb, those do not support my keyboard

RGB can be a problem if your device is not supported by openrgb or another project, can you at least share the output of the following so that we can see what usb device the keyboard actually is?

I use ckb-next for my keyboard as well and openrazer/polychromatic for my razer mouse.
