|
||
`asusctl`
|
||
|
||
is a command-line utility designed for controlling ASUS ROG and TUF laptops on Linux, providing features like RGB keyboard backlight control.
|
||
|
||
**Controlling RGB with `asusctl`:**
|
||
|
||
- **Toggling LED Modes:** You can cycle through the available RGB lighting effects using the commands `asusctl aura -n` for the next mode and `asusctl aura -p` for the previous mode.
|
||
- **Setting a Specific Color (Potentially):** One Reddit user mentions using `asusctl rgb -c 4` to set the RGB color to a specific value, suggesting that `asusctl` might support assigning specific colors to RGB lighting.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
