Keyboard LED Control

Keyboard LED Control is an interesting and original application that doesn't necessarily bring useful functions to the table but rather a new way to interact with your machine. It allows the user to adjust the way any of the Lock key LEDs function. Whether you want to create a flashing sequence between Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock, or you'd like to turn these off permanently, this app can do the job.

The application doesn't really sport a flashy interface. Still, there's quite a number of functions, each particularly set for a specific Lock button. No matter if it's Num, Caps, or Scroll, one can set it to work as it would normally, turn it on or off for good, or put it in flash mode. For example, if you'd like to have one Lock button flash and the rest turned off, you can do that accordingly. You can have all the buttons flash, as well. It's all up to how you'd like the lights to behave.

Although some people might argue that an app shouldn't always be about functionality, it must be said that to a certain extent a program's usefulness can be determined by the number of options it holds. Unfortunately, Keyboard LED Control doesn't offer much. In fact, what it does is allow any user to play with the lights or turn them off if these are bothersome in any way. Aside from that, there's little else that can be done. Sure, you can run the program when the OS starts and initialize your LED settings and have the program close itself afterward.

Keyboard LED Control could be very easily labeled as a distraction. Still, the concept behind it is interesting and could be developed into something more useful. The base is there, yet the rest needs to be added to the mix since functionality is somewhat relevant to all apps and programs.
