  6. Use the touch pad or an external mouse to select keyboard, ventilation slot, and side LEDs that you want to use. To include the logo light, select the Y Logo button.
    Note: All keyboard keys can be selected individually. Individual ventilation slots and side LEDs can be selected and are marked with gray bars. To add LEDs to your current selection, hold down the Ctrl key.
  7. Click the down arrow and select a pre-defined lighting pattern.
    Note: You may also create your customized lighting pattern by selecting a base pattern from the CUSTOM list.
The created lighting effect is now active. You may also link different profiles to different apps. Once it is done, when an app is open, its linked profile and associated lighting effect takes effect.
