Logo light is working, but flickering a bit though

antonpup commented 8 years ago

Media keys are not available as far as I know.

Can you describe the flickering? When does it happen? What settings do you have in Aurora that flicker?

medifin commented 8 years ago

I have set the logo in red-white color breathing mode and the animation feels laggy. I have other keys set in color breathing mode as well and they dont flicker at all

Yeah, I think I know what you are experiencing. It's a hardware issue. Basically, the Logo and badge both operate differently than the keycap LEDs. If a color isn't 100% red/green/blue, then it will try to quickly mix variations of the three to produce the color. This happens with both LGS and Aurora. It can be clearly seen with high fps cameras. Here are two demo videos I took with my phone: LGS Demo: LGS Demo

Aurora Demo (Note: Aurora currently does not control the "G910" badge, its color is static): LGS Demo

In the Aurora demo, when the logo color is 100% red, there is no flicker, but as soon as it starts shifting to white, it starts mixing colors and producing flickering.

Alright, thanks for the explanation
