This is excellent. What a great thought.
Is there any overhead? what kind of system resource usage vs the MSI KLM ?
I noticed that in windows 7 the official KLM was using 20k of memory.
This alternative is quite different. It only runs Once when you change a color, pattern, etc. making it much more efficient. (Running once means that as soon as the javascript changes the color it finishes and ends, like javascript on a browser)
Since it uses the node v8 runtime engine, it uses so little memory that when I ran the top command in linux, the ram percentage used on start of the program was 0.0%

Hello all,
A developer recently created a node.js project to control the MSI Steelseries Keyboards with javascript.
Since it uses node.js it should be cross OS (windows, mac, linux).
The github repo is here: https://github.com/wearefractal/msi-keyboard
I installed and am successfully controlling my keyboard in Linux Mint 15 64bit
Requirements:
npm
Here are the instructions: (Linux or mac, windows is similar)
Make a folder called msi-klm (or similar)
now use a text editor to create two files inside the folder. package.json and server.js
in package.json put this minimal code:
{ "name": "led-manager",
"dependencies": {
"msi-keyboard":"*"
}
}Save the file.
Open the folder in a terminal and run this command:
npm install
That will install the needed module.
Edit server.js
Put this (minimal) code:
var keyboard = require('msi-keyboard');
keyboard.color('left',{color: 'red', intensity: 'med'});
keyboard.color('middle',{color: 'blue', intensity: 'med'});
keyboard.color('right',{color: 'green', intensity: 'med'});Save the file.
Refer to https://github.com/wearefractal/msi-keyboard for the many other options.
Use the same terminal to run:
sudo node server.js
(on linux or *nix. Open the terminal as Admin in windows)
Your keyboard should be now lit up!
Cheers

Ah yes, the MSI lock!
There is a solution which I came across after several hours of tests and reboots.
No unlocked bios needed.
Step 1
Download Nvidia Inspector and extract/install. NVIDIA Inspector Download version 1.9.7.2
Step 2
Open NI and click "Show overclocking", accept any warning.
Step 3
Click top right "Unlock Max/min"
Now set the shade or memory clock +20 or so.
Hit apply on bottom right.
The settings should now be persistent until reboot.
You also should be able to use Afterburner to set the clocks.
I can create a visual screenshot guide if needed.
Ask if you need help!
