will the lights on this work on a pc with a msi a88xm gaming motherboard and will i be able to change the colors on it?

the lights will work no matter what you are using as long as you install the software. And yes you will be able to change colors of it, but just note there are not nearly as many colors as alienware claims.
1048376
yes it comes iwth software that lets you change colors. Its a nice keyboard.

It connects using two USB ports. So if your PC has two USB ports- it will work and you can get the full functionality of it (Change colors).

It would be able to work with any motherboard and yes you can change the backlit LED's on it.

Actually it did work on Windows 8. I used Windows 8 Pro edition for a week but then I decided to just downgrade it to Windows 7( Don't like Metro Features). I never had any problems using it though. Just plug n play.LED lights worked fine. What I can recommend is, make sure you update all your drivers and download all necessary files needed for Windows 8 for your motherboard. Also, you might wanna check Saitek/Madcatz website if they have drivers of your keyboard or mouse for Windows 8. Just saying, there might be. but on my case I didn't install any.

No, you must order the color you want. otherwise you MAY have to change the fans with led's to the color you are looking for.

If the rgb connections are the same, then yes. I'm pretty sure each of these lights are made similar but could have subtle differences to cause the colors to not work in sync. I would contact the seller and ask them. Good luck.

The LED light will only light up once its connected to the computer. I'm not sure if it needs to be recognized by the OS first, or if it just needs to draw power from the USB in order to light up. As for the color, nope. Only a bright red. Good luck!

Hi Thank you for your interest. But I'm sorry we can't guarantee the compatibility with on board graphic chipset. Please use the graphic card like Nvidia GT620. Thank you.

It goes into the slot on your case. It DOES NOT actually plug into your motherboard's PCI-e slot. It will however, block you from using that slot as the mount will be taken up. You do not have to use the bracket that comes with it. A few screws will remove the bracket, then set the lights the way you want and tuck the bracket away somewhere inside. Have mine running for months with no issue, the sticky mounts will only stick to a clean surface.

I've got two EVGA GTX 760's and they "should" light up but they dint for me. They are supposed to though. Sorry I can't help more.

Just tried it out for you. The led strip is a two pin connection, and will fit on either a motherboard connection or a separate fan controller. However, the LEDs did not light up. I'd stick with the small board it comes with for power and control. If you have no space to have it in a PCI slot on the case, consider attaching it elsewhere.

The color display is dependent on the graphics card itself, not the CPU chip. Make sure you have a good driver installed, and you might want to reseat the card if you're still having issues.

Yes the graphics card will work on the motherboard. I personally have a GTX 780 on mine.

Mine works fine, but remember you have to separately plug it into the appropriate pins on your motherboard, if you did that and it still does not light, reverse the leads and try that. You would think that polarity does not matter but we've found out in this case it does. Also, don't pay the current price showing here of $84, I bought mine on sale from Amazon back in January for $49 including a $10 rebate, but for instance right now at New Egg this same case is on sale for $59 with rebate

Ask your manufacterer, I asked the seller by email. I put mine in my Dell Optiplex GX280 2002 and they work just fine. I don't even know what your PC is.

Not all of the white LED's appear to be the same color, and I did not see any documentation regarding color index. However, the whites appear to be in the cooler range, so I would suspect most are 6500K down to maybe 5000K.

Yes but it's only needed to make the LEDs brighter. USB will power it just fine. Stop debating and buy it; it's awesome.

It should. When you're at 5600k on the bicolor, you're only usung half the leds.

Yes that motherboard appears to have a PCIe x1 slot. That is where you will plug it in. It will work as long as you have a PCIe x1 slot.
