Greetings! Ever since i’ve been shoved numerous and useless AI Slop features in Windows, i decided to finally remove my Windows dualboot and replace it with a seprate Linux install. (i primarily use windows only for gaming, i like having seprate os installs cause its easy to wipe out rather then having to deal with getting a game removed on my main linux install)
However, what i didn’t think through was the RGB Software for my keyboard and mouse. The software itself is proprietary, and i doubt that wine has USB passthrough aswell.
Games work fine, but i still am looking for an alternative way to control the RGB of my keyboard and mouse through linux. So in the end and in desperation, what can i do? (my keyboard is a lenovo legion k310 and mouse is lenovo legion m300s)
(sorry if my english makes no sense, english is not my primary language)

might or might not work with openrgb. is rgb seriously that important though?
Not op but, for me it would be to be honest. It’s part of something I paid for, I would rather have the ability to use it. Hardware peripheral support is really my main complaint about being on Linux. Everything else seems to have a decent alternative but for some reason all the hardware interface support is nearly non-existent or buggy.
not really, but the rgb software is also my mouse manager software, from where i can change my mouse’s dpi from, so it is kinda important for me
Then you’re looking for mouse settings software;
The default system mouse settings might be enough, or else you could just change the sensitivity
What kind of mouse are you using?
I mentioned my mouse’s name in the post, but incase you didnt notice it, my mouse is a lenovo legion m300s
Have you tried OpenRGB yet?
On one hand you can use an OS that respects your privacy, doesn’t have telemetry, doesn’t push advertisements as system messages and doesn’t default your storage to the cloud and then charge you a subscription to access your files… on the other hand you can’t make your mouse blue.
It’s a tough decision, but everyone has to make that one on their own.
