Lighting

The following pages detail adding lighting support to ZMK keyboards, which currently supports two lighting systems: underglow and backlight.

warning

Although the naming of the systems might imply it, which system you use typically does not depend on the physical location of the LEDs. Instead, you should use the one that supports the LED hardware type that your keyboard has.

📄️ RGB Underglow

Lighting system that controls strips of RGB LEDs.

📄️ Backlight

Lighting system that controls an array of single-color LEDs.
