Hi @Vedant-Jagtap,

Thanks for creating this issue.

Could you confirm the exact model of your system please?

I've done a quick search on the internet and I can see a few variations of "Acer Aspire 7 A715" with additional model numbers and different keyboard types.

If you system is the "Acer Aspire 7 A715-79G" model, please let me know.

If this isn't your system, please comment below with the exact model (and keyboard type) and I will see if I can add your system to the supported device list.

Thanks.

Model : Aspire A715-79G
My exact model is : Aspire A715-79G
It has a single-zone RGB keyboard (one color across the whole keyboard, controlled via Fn + * key).
Device ID detected by your tool: 0x000000000000A554

Many many Thankyou

Hi! Great news — all themes work on my system (Device ID 0xA554):
breathe, freshbreathe, colourtransform, blink, heartbeat all working perfectly!
I have two requests:

Rainbow wave effect — colors flowing from left to right across the keyboard (like a wave). My keyboard is single-zone so even a smooth left-to-right color sweep would look amazing.
GUI application — a simple window with buttons to click each theme instead of typing commands every time. Something like a small tray app that lets me switch themes with one click.

Thank you so much for the quick support, really appreciate it!

That wouldn't be possible if you only have a Single Zone keyboard, as you cannot address each zone (Left, Middle & Right) on a keyboard with only 1 Zone.

GUI application — a simple window with buttons to click each theme instead of typing commands every time. Something like a small tray app that lets me switch themes with one click.

I'm not doing that for free 😂 - Someone has already requested this and attempted to create a GUI, but hasn't finished the code.
If you know C++ & Qt framework you can address some of the PR comments I've made and finish the code.

PR: #14

Haha fair enough! But I can build you that GUI right now. Thank you for your support.

Hi, the GUI is working great! Could you add command line arguments for speed and brightness control? For example:

.\CLEVO_KeyboardColour.exe theme breathe --speed 3 --brightness 75
