Let’s not forget that you can also synchronize the effects with other Asus RGB stuff compatible. The second tab will allow you to choose if the backlit area to the right of the logo will indicate the battery level of the keyboard or be used in overall backlighting (the first option is more valuable).

The update process requires the wired cable and 2.4GHz receiver to be connected at the same time. It is recommended to update the corresponding firmware for the first time. There are some improvements applied constantly, but there are better options. I had some stability issues, and also, in one moment, I had to re-install the suite to be able to set up the device. It’s still not the best piece of suite that you can find. Asus Armoury Carte software has been available on the market for some time.
