RGB Lighting FX

For some reason lighting is barely documented on keychrons. Rainy 75 documented the list of FX. Best I could find was the following in the JSON file

["None", 0], ["Solid Color", 1], ["Breathing", 2], ["Band Spiral Val", 3], ["Cycle All", 4], ["Cycle Left Right", 5], ["Cycle Up Down", 6], ["Rainbow Moving Chevron", 7], ["Cycle Out In", 8], ["Cycle Out In Dual", 9], ["Cycle Pinwheel", 10], ["Cycle Spiral", 11], ["Dual Beacon", 12], ["Rainbow Beacon", 13], ["Jellybean Raindrops", 14], ["Pixel Rain", 15], ["Typing Heatmap", 16], ["Digital Rain", 17], ["Reactive Simple", 18], ["Reactive Multiwide", 19], ["Reactive Multinexus", 20], ["Splash", 21], ["Solid Splash", 22]

Reactive

The Reactives are the only ones that Interest Me.

1. Reactive Simple
2. Reactive Multiwide
3. Reactive Multinexus

Reactive Simple lights only the key pressed for a couple seconds after being pressed. This should use the least amount of battery while giving nice feedback. I like this one the most. Reactive Multiwide lights keys around the key pressed. Reactive Multinexus shoots lines out virtally and horizontally from key presed. The last two are over kill. Stick with Reactive Simple.

RGB Lighting Function Key Controls

1. FN+Tab -> RGB Toggle. turn back light on and off.
2. FN + Q -> Mode+, Increase backlight mode Number
3. FN + A -> Mode-, Descrease backlight mode Number
4. FN + W -> BR+, Increase backlight brightness Number
5. FN + S -> BR-, Decrease backlight brightness Number
6. Fn+E Hue+, hue increase
7. Fn+D Hue-, hue decrease
8. Fn+R Sat+, saturation increase
9. Fn+F Sat-, saturation decrease
10. Fn+T Es+, speed increase
11. Fn+G Es-, speed decrease.

Mode

Use FN + Q to get to Reactive Simple, 18.

Brightness

Use FN + W to make as bright as possible.

Hue

FN+E and FN+D. Red to Purple works best with the red Keycaps.

Saturation Amaount

FN+R to use as much color saturation as possible. White doesn't look as good even though we use colored keycaps.

Speed

Fn+T to decrease how long light stays lit after being pressed. Fn+G to increase how long light stays lit after being pressed. This one I like in the middle. I do not like it too long or too short.

Layer 3

Layer 3 is for windows function Key Presses. We can see the RGB Toggle, Mode+, Hue+, etc. There arfe 11 Functions Keys that control lighting FX on the fly.
