🌸 NAME 🌸

ckb-next-daemon — Corsair RGB driver daemon 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ckb-next-daemon [--gid=<gid>] [--hwload=<always|try|never>] [--nonotify]
[--nobind] [--nonroot]

like, that's the whole vibe check. you run it, optionally with some flags, and it does its thing 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

kay so for the FULL instructions, the actual guide, the whole lore — you gotta go here:

https://github.com/ckb-next/ckb-next/blob/master/DAEMON.md

that's it, that's the description. go read it, i'll wait 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --gid=<gid> — restricts access to the /dev/input/ckb* nodes so only users in the group <gid> can get in. it's giving velvet rope, it's giving bouncer at the club 💅
  • --hwload=<always|try|never> — controls whether stored hardware profiles get loaded on compatible devices. three moods:
    • --hwload=always — forces loading of stored hardware profiles on compatible devices. slay, but heads up: this may result in long startup times. she takes her time getting ready 💀
    • --hwload=try — tries to load the profiles, but gives up if it's not immediately successful. this is the default. lowkey the chill option 😌
    • --hwload=never — ignores hardware profiles completely. not me pretending they don't exist 🙈
  • --nonotify — disables key monitoring/notifications. note that this makes reactive lighting impossible. no reactive glow for you, sorry bestie 😭
  • --nobind — disables ALL key rebinding, macros, and notifications. and yes, it implies --nonotify. everything off, periodt ✋
  • --nonroot — allows running ckb-next-daemon as a non-root user. > this will almost certainly not work. use only if you know what you're doing. fr fr, don't come crying to me 🚨

and that's the whole page, bestie! it signs off as CKB-NEXT-DAEMON(8) — section 8, System Manager's Manual, no date on this one, so that's all we got. go make your keyboard iconic 💜🎀✨
