Logitech G910 keyboard : Having the Gkeys and RGB LEDs to work

I found a lot of things on the wiki about the g15libs, I also scrapped the Logitech SDKs looking for some clues. Nothing seems to work.

The G keys are recognized as F keys (G1=F1) by xinput

And the RGB LED matrix stays blue, whatever I might try to setup from Windows 7. The keyboard does however seems to have an internal memory, because when I install a different software version on windows, the G keys are recognized as something else than F keys on Arch.

I would like to solve both issues. I would even create something myself if I have to. But I need to know which way to take. And so far I have no idea where to start.

I know that this is a very late response, but I've recently purchased one of these for myself and fixed this issue:

1) Run the Logitech color configuration program while booted in Windows. Get colors configured to your liking.
2) Use CTRL+ALT+DELETE to start the Task Manager and kill all running Logitech programs (I don't know which one is the necessary one; I just kill them all)
3) Now reboot and the G910 keeps its color settings even when starting up in the BIOS (or EFI)

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi, I'm sure that if the last comment thinks he's late, then I'm waayyyyyyyyyyyyy tooo late, anyways there is a project called LogiGSK to control the leds on Logitech G series keyboards on Linux and it has a GUI and a daemon to run the set profile automatically, you can find it at

Hey, well if everyone is saying then I will too I'm waay to late to answer this but if it dosen't help OP I hope it will help someone else.

You can set the leds with this controller: https://github.com/MatMoul/g810-led (also available on aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/g810-led-git/)

About the GKeys. I've written a driver for them, found here: https://github.com/JSubelj/g910-gkey-macro-support

You can typeout stuff, press a shortcut or run a shell script (the functionality and everything you need should be covered in wiki).

So I hope it helps you guys and if you have any questions, you can contact me via Github.

Consider me late too, but since I doubt OP will see this again I wanted to say thanks for doing work like this for fancy gaming peripherals on Linux. The best Linux gaming mice aren't the best gaming mice and the best gaming mice and keyboards don't even make an effort with open source drivers, so I'm reliant on dudes like you making things like razercfg or sidewinderd or the Logitech projects. The old, old now-abandoned razercfg drivers with qrazerconfig still work perfectly for my old ass Naga MMO mouse and I'm about to buy a new Schmitar RGB from Corsair and I'm hoping to find similar support, but I think the Corsairs have onboard memory to retain configs like smart devs would do with everything, so hope it works fine.
