but a couple options down is a simple "check mark" option to "Enable 3rd Party AlienFX Access." I just unchecked it, and now LotRO doesn't affect my lights at all! Where you see the AlienFX icon, right click it. I have Windows 7, so for me it's in the "hidden icons" box on the right side of my task bar. >"Can't believe i missed it before, all that delving into the FX control panel, and it was so simple. The keyboard may function as a plain old keyboard, but the rest of the features don’t appear to have any Win 10 support via Dell.Ok reviewed the other post on light issues with regular Alienware comps and figured out a solution for those just with the ALIENWARE TACTX keyboard. So, for the OP that was hating on it not working on Win10… he’s actually correct. For some reason the installer does not include the command center, but just the driver. I installed the version 2.0 manually and after that I could change colors, because the command center was installed. In the end I browsed the original CD and found a folder named AWCC or so.

Alll Drivers and software from the Dell website cannot be installed on non Alienware PCs because the message not compatible.
Alienware keyboard not lighting up driver#
The original CD just installed the driver but not the comand center. But I got my Tactx keyboard today and had the same problem. I´m not sure if you´re still interested because your post was a while ago. I did find this post on a dell community forum as of Dec 2015, so current info: But did not appear to have full control or any control over the lighting. Now… the keyboard will most likely work as a normal keyboard.īut, it also has programmable macro keys and programmable colored lights that need software control.Īfter some deeper digging it appears you must run the newer Alienware Command Center (which only comes installed on an Alienware, and doesn’t appear to be easily obtainable outside of that).Īpparently the command center (again, only from what I found on forum posts) let one user use the macro keys with Win10. Though, Dell’s official support says it works with 8.1 also (as of Jan 2015, the last time the driver’s software was updated). It appears the drivers only go up to Win 7 support (older model keyboard).

I like the keyboard a lot, it had what I would call quite keys. I don’t remember if they come with the keyboard or not. Please refer to the Alienware TactX CI Command Line Documentation.rtf file for details.įor more detailed information about Front End Setup, please refer to the Alienware TactX CI Installer SWS doc file. FESetup has the ability to run in silent mode as well. It has the capability to also launch an application at the end of the chaining process. The Front End Setup application is an application launcher that can chain installations (not uninstallation) together.
Alienware keyboard not lighting up install#
It’s not very clearly spelled out, you need to install the command center first then the TactX. In order to use the keyboard you need to install two programs that have the drivers. There are macro keys but I don’t use those either. This one has a lock out key for the windows key,sort of a gaming mode feature so you don’t accidentally hit it and throw you out of a game. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work with windows 10, it may be the drivers.
