What Other Color Changing Options Does Your SteelSeries Keyboard Offer?

The SteelSeries Engine Software offers more than just single-color customization for keyboards. Users have access to a variety of options to enhance their color customizations and make them visually appealing.

Firstly, the software allows you to adjust the brightness levels of the keyboard according to your liking. If the RGB light is too bright for you, you can lower its brightness level as you see fit and match your vibe.

The software allows preset creation for three keyboard layers: Active, reactive, and idle, each for different scenarios. The Active layer offers customization, including dynamic light movement. Reactive presets enable unique colors/effects per keypress, while the idle layer configures lighting after specified inactivity.

Customizing your SteelSeries keyboard color adds a personal touch to your setup. The SteelSeries Engine Software offers a user-friendly interface for adjusting colors, and brightness, and creating presets.
