The MageGee Backlit Keyboard offers customization features, allowing users to modify backlighting animations and adjust colors for specific keys. Combining keys with the Function (Fn) key made changing the MageGee Keyboard color easy, according to my preferences.

Key Takeaways

• You can cycle between colors with the Fn+Pause/Fn+Break or Fn+Left/Fn+Right keys.
• Enable the backlit mode by pressing the Fn+SL or the Fn+Esc keys.
• Reconnect your keyboard to the PC or restart the computer to troubleshoot backlighting problems.

How To Change MageGee Keyboard Color?

You can cycle between colors on a MageGee Keyboard by pressing the Fn+Pause/Break keys. Experiment with different color options until you find the best one. Then, save the color mode with Fn+Scroll (SL) keys. Moreover, the common colors found in most MageGee Keyboards are as follows:

• Blue
• Red
• Green
• Pink
• Cyan
• Orange
• Purple

How To Turn On Backlighting On MageGee Keyboard?

Backlighting is essential to be able to see the changes you make to the keyboard color. If you haven’t already backlit your keyboard, you can simultaneously press your keyboard’s Fn and Scroll (SL) keys.

On the other hand, some models, like the MageGee GK710 Gaming Keyboard, use the Fn+Esc keys to turn the backlit feature on or off.

Customizing Common Key Combinations

The MageGee MK1 lets you experiment with three lighting layouts for certain key combinations.

The following are the distinct lighting layouts offered by MageGee:

• Press the Fn+1 keys to customize the Gaming keys (WASD) and the Arrow keys.

  

• Fn+2 highlights the number panel above the Alphabet keys.

  

• With Fn+3, you can adjust colors for the Alphabet and Arrow keys.

  

Light Up Custom Keys

Here’s how you can enable backlighting for individually selected keys:

1. Hold Fn + Backspace.
2. Press the keys you wish to highlight.
3. Save the customization with the same key combination mentioned above.

Here’s how you can undo the changes made:

1. Hold the Fn key.
2. Press Backspace + Esc in the same order, and make sure not to let go of the Fn key.
3. Press the highlighted keys individually to remove lighting.
4. Once done, hit Backspace and release the Fn key.

Lighting Shortcut Keys

The following key pairs control aspects of your keyboard’s lighting, such as brightness, color patterns, and more:

• Fn+Up/Fn+Down: Adjusts brightness. Moreover, the three lights on the top right, just above the “Numeric Pad,” begin to flash once you have reached the minimum or maximum brightness settings.

  

• Fn+Left/Fn+Right: Sets the direction in which light flows across your keyboard, such as Left to Right or Right to Left.

  

• Fn+Plus (+)/ Fn+Minus (-): Controls the speed of light animation.
• Fn+SL: Returns to the default lighting preset.

Different Lighting Modes On MageGee Keyboard

The diverse lighting modes in MageGee Keyboards enhance your gameplay and make the essential keys easier to navigate in the dark.

• Soft Breathing Effect: The backlight calmly fades in and out to produce a soft, breathing-like effect.
• Glowing Effect: The colors slowly appear behind the keys.
• Highlight Effect: The light turns on only for the keys you press and fade as you hit the next key.
• Ripple Effect: It creates a ripple effect from the key you tap. The colors spread outward until they finally stretch to the edges of the keyboard.
• Shooting Light Effect: In this mode, you will see a lighting effect in the row of the triggered key. For example, if you press the Z key, the lights travel across the entire row.
• Raindrop Effect: It mimics a rainy surface, as the color lightly fades for the chosen key, while it stays stable for the other keys on the keyboard.
• Glowing Embers Effect: The effect produces soothing ember-like colors and shades under the keys.
• Spiral Effect: Lights travel across the keys in a spiral pattern. 

What To Do If The Background Color Is Not Changing?

I have a few tips to help you troubleshoot your MageGee Keyboard in case it fails to switch colors despite using the above-mentioned methods.

• Ensure you have properly connected the MageGee Keyboard to your computer.
• Verify that your keyboard model has a backlit color-changing feature.
• Reconnect your keyboard to the computer.
• Restart the computer.
• Refer to the keyboard’s manual and verify you are pressing the right keys.
