In addition, some devices have some general support with Dynamic Lighting, meaning that these devices work with the feature, but they have not been validated, and you may come across issues. Mice: ASUS ROG Harpe Ace AimLab Edition Gaming Mouse.HyperX Alloy Origins Core, 60, and ROG FALCHION series are getting support soon. Keyboards: ASUS ROG Scope II Wireless 96 Gaming Keyboard.Some of these companies are already implementing this technology, and others plan to bring the support later.

The only caveat using this feature is that it's only compatible with devices that use the open HID LampArray standard, which only a few devices use nowadays.Ĭurrently, Microsoft has several partners participating in the Dynamic Lighting feature, including Acer, Asus, HP, Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, and Twinkly. In the future, it's expected that Microsoft will expand compatibility. So, if you can't use this feature, don't feel frustrated, as many users are experiencing the same. Personally, I have different RGB lighting accessories, such as a mouse, keyboard, case, and motherboard, but apparently, none are compatible with this feature. If you want to control the settings for a specific device, you have to click on the device at the top of the page. These settings will configure Dynamic Lighting globally for all devices. The Rainbow, Wave, Wheel, and Gradient effects have an additional 'direction' setting, while the Wheel and Gradient effects also allow you to pick multiple colors.

The Breathing, Rainbow, Wave, and Wheel also include a slider to control the effect speed. I like everything about this computer from a hardware and performance perspective but good lord wrestling with the software/firmware has been a ride.After you complete the steps, the lighting effects will apply to the compatible devices.

Spent like a year having to restart my computer if I wanted to change the brightness at all.

I had to uninstall and reinstall both monitors in Windows Device Manager, uninstall and reinstall my USB-C hub (which I have my external monitor plugged into), fiddle with settings in nvidia control panel, and restart like 3 times before all the sudden everything clicked and my PC is normal again. Then it wouldn't send anything to my external monitor unless I was duplicating the displays. It also saw my laptop display as capable of only 1 hz (!!!) refresh so it was like using an e-ink screen or some shit. It reset all the nvidia control panel settings. It was a sketchy process that made me feel like my computer was fucked for about 45 minutes.

But yeah, if the old driver is fine for your current needs, I'd just stay there.

If you need to upgrade your card for gaming, I'd look into PangoBright. Obviously not as good as just having the fucking toggle work. I can pick and choose which monitors to dim. It's lightweight and works well with my multiple monitor setup. Flux wasn't able to handle multiple screens independently, but I found something called PangoBright: was recommended in another Reddit thread. I've tried some third party screen dimmers/modifiers. However, with the slim 7's we have to manually restart the computer each time we go in and out of hybrid mode - I don't want to leave it on when I'm gaming because it apparently decreases performance. This forces the system to use the iGPU when out of game, so the brightness toggle works. One thing that works is putting your Lenovo in 'Hybrid' mode - using Lenovo Vantage.
