Power button not customizable with a GS76

[tiritor]

I have a problem with a GS76 model. Changing of the color with the default preset (e.g. GS75) is almost completly working. But the backlight of the power button is not changing at all. I think there is keycode for this key missing. I tried to find out which keycode it has, but I had no luck at the moment. Is there a possibility read the keycode for a specific key?

Also, I can provide more data for reverse engineering, if needed.

Hi tiritor,

I also have an MSI GS76 laptop, running Manjaro Linux. I've been trying to get the keyboard backlight to work on my laptop. And I keep getting the message below when I run msi-perkeyrgb -s ff0000, and don’t know how to resolve the issue in the message below. It sounds like you were able to get the keyboard backlight of your laptop to work. I was wondering if you could help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No laptop model specified, using GE63 as default.
No MSI keyboards with a known product/vendor IDs were found. However, if you think your keyboard should work with this program, you can try overriding the ID by adding the option “–id VENDOR_ID:PRODUCT_ID”. In that case you will also need to give yourself proper read/write permissions to the corresponding /dev/hidraw* device.

I also installed MSIKLM. When I run sudo msiklm list , I get the information below, which I think it is the information, pertaining to the keyboard of my laptop.

Device: SteelSeries KLC
Device Vendor ID: 4152
Device Product ID: 4410
Device Serial Number: (null)
Device Manufacturer: SteelSeries
Device Path: 3-12:1.0
Device Interface Number: 0
Device Release Number: 258

Hi, sorry for the delayed response.

You can use the GS75 setup, this works for me also.

The alternative to this is to add a new setup in the keymaps file of msi-perkeyrgb for testing of my power button led problem (where I have not a fix until today).

I hope this helps!

@tiritor could you please specify the command as you run it? Because I have a GS76 and I have the following error:

jorgee@jorgee-GS76-Stealth-11UG:~/Applications/msi-perkeyrgb$ msi-perkeyrgb --model GS75 --id 4152:4410
No USB device with ID 4152:4410 found.
