The RGB lighting on the keyboard is not very fluid. I assume this is consistent across all the devices, but my reference is the Ornata Chroma v1. It is not lagging or anything.

The rate at which the lighting updates seems… slow. When you use effects like Ripple, especially on faster speeds you can really tell how choppy it is. Feels like the lighting is updating at around 15-30 fps. There is also a delay from the moment you press a button to the effect beginning. It makes the effects feel very janky and unsatisfying.

Is there a hidden config option somewhere where the update rate can be changed, or is this a hardware limitation?
 

For reference, here is what a fluid wave ripple effect should look like:

Here’s a demo on my Ornata Chroma I recorded at 60fps (Ripple, Speed: 30, Width: 300%) :

If you go frame by frame you can see that the lighting updates rather sporadically. Slight changes in lighting appear to be happening every other if not every frame, but there are some parts where nothing changes for several frames.

Importantly, while slight changes are happening, the actual propagation of the wave seems to skip major steps from one frame to the next, this is likely where the feeling of jank comes from.

 This seems to suggest a different issue than I was suspecting, where the update rate of the lighting itself appears to be fine, however somewhere else in the process there is jank.
