Ducky Shine 7
The Ducky Shine 7 is an awesome keyboard, but its macro keys aren't the most intuitive.
Reset
Hold down Left super and Right super for 5 seconds, until the backlight flashes white.
Configuration
Function mode
Toggle "Function mode" with Fn + Esc

Backlight
Cycle through backlight modes with Fn + F10:
- Wave displays a left to right flowing rainbow gradient.
- Alpha displays a right to left flowing alpha wave.
- Tetris shows a snake moving from the top left to the bottom right which stacks up the rows as you type.
- Colour cycle cycles through all the keys through the colours of the rainbow continuously.
- Rain drop shows a random colour on each of a random set of keys each cycle. Decreasing the speed decreases the rate of fading out, not fading in.
- Circle ripple shows a ripple out effect in a random colour for each pressed key.
- Random reactive behaves similarly to rain drop, but only when a key is pressed.
- Aurora highlights the row in the configured colour when keys are pressed.
- Reactive behaves like random reactive, except keys are highlighted in the configured colour when pressed.
- Breath cycles between fading all keys to the specified colour and off again.
- Always backlit sets a static backlight colour.
- Never backlit turns the backlight off.
Holding Fn and F10 for three seconds disables the backlight.
