The K87 is known for its vibrant, per-key RGB backlighting. The software provides a visual interface to adjust lighting effects (e.g., wave, ripple, reactive typing, static color). Users can modify hue, saturation, brightness, and animation speed, as well as save multiple lighting profiles.

Budget peripheral drivers from shared cloud drives (like Google Drive or MediaFire links provided by sellers) should always be scanned using an antivirus program or VirusTotal before execution.

The hardware shortcuts only allow you to cycle through a few pre-set animations. With the software, you can control the speed, brightness, and direction of the lighting effects. Many versions of the software also support per-key RGB programming, allowing you to highlight specific keys (like WASD) in custom colors. 2. Full Key Remapping
