Anyone been able to add more lighting effects to the Massdrop Alt?
« on: Fri, 15 November 2019, 04:05:09 »
Has anyone been able to add more lighting effects to the Massdrop Alt?

I haven't been able to find any firmware with a "Starlight" or "Rainbow Ripple" effect.  I'd really like to have both running simultaneously on my Alt.  My Cooler Master RGB keyboards and Razer keyboards can do that (run both effects simultaneously).


Short clips of my Vortex Pok3r running the "Starlight" effect and my Cooler Master SK630 running BOTH "Starlight" and "Rainbow Ripple" simultaneously (Why can't this expensive keyboard (the Alt) do what my cheaper Cooler Master can?)

Since mines is a budget keyboard (despite costing 200 CAD), mines only has blue lighting effects that don't make my keycaps look good.

Thank you for your useless input. Oh yeah lets continue with the actual problem. I am not sure if this function is in the basic firmware. I do know people make custom RGB effects in the qmk hex file. I never tried it maybe you can try the QMK official discord and ask there. Here is the discord link https://discord.gg/WspKH3
