Works with the GP66 Vector

Not an issue, but wanted to chime in and let you know that this works on the following laptop:

Vector GP66HX 12UGS
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1038:113a SteelSeries ApS SteelSeries KLC

What was the command you gave?

Vector GP66 12UGS is here. Finally got this to work:

$ lsusb | grep Steel
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1038:113a SteelSeries ApS SteelSeries KLC

$ msi-perkeyrgb --p aqua --id 1038:113a
No laptop model specified, using GE63 as default.
Cannot open keyboard. Possible causes :
- You don't have permissions to open the HID device. Run this program as root, or give yourself read/write permissions to the corresponding /dev/hidraw*. If you have just installed this tool, reboot your computer for the udev rule to take effect.
- The USB device is not a HID device.

$ sudo msi-perkeyrgb --id 1038:113a -p chakra

Thanks guys for the great tool. And speacial thanks to @joeg1484 for this thread. I thought my GP66 is just not supported by this tool.

UPD: it's better to use it with --model GS65. Anyway, I can't control the power button on my keyboard with the tool. Even if I set:

sudo msi-perkeyrgb --id 1038:113a --model GS65 --steady 00ff00

the power button still animates with a factory rainbow animation. I tried different models but I had no luck to control that key.

Hi I am using the same command but getting these errors:

not working on my laptop.

After using this command the device under ID 1038:113a is no longer appearing in the lsusb command:
