Before configuring the notebook keyboard lighting, please ensure the support and control engine for RGB lighting on the keyboard, and then proceed with the lighting settings according to the applicable software or shortcut keys.
Verify RGB Lighting Support and Control Engine
1. Verify RGB Lighting Support
1-1. Go to MSI official website, click on the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner, and search for your model name ("GS66 12UGS" is used here as an example.) Press "Enter" to search.
1-2. Locate the model you are looking for and click on "Specification."
1-3. Find the product keyboard specifications and ensure the keyboard is labeled as "RGB Backlight Keyboard" or "Per-Key RGB Backlight Keyboard."
If the specification does not show either of these keyboard types, it means the keyboard does not support RGB backlight.
2. Verify RGB Lighting Control Engine
2-1. Click on the "Support" page on the product page.
2-2. Choose your model.
2-3. Select "Utility" and then choose the operating system in the sub-options.
2-4. On this page, check if there is SteelSeries Engine 3/ SteelSeries GG.
If you can find SteelSeries Engine 3/SteelSeries GG, please refer to [Notebook] SteelSeries GG Keyboard Lighting Settings to adjust the lighting mode.
If SteelSeries Engine 3/SteelSeries GG cannot be found, it means that the lighting control engine is MSI Center. Please continue with the settings steps below.
Configure Lighting via MSI Center
The following steps apply only to models with the keyboard lighting control engine as MSI Center.
1. Open MSI Center, click "Utility" → "Mystic Light", select the keyboard, and you can adjust the lighting effects in the section below.
You can use default templates and further adjust colors, speed, etc.
2. Click "Customize" to customize the lighting settings.
