From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to access hardware RGB controls of connected USB devices? (lemmy.world)

So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows.

Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not.

I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.

If all else fails, you can always spin up a Windows VM. I generally keep one around for tasks like this (or complex Excel workbooks).
