LSPDFR Chroma - Bringing LSPDFR to your Keyboard
What is LSPDFR Chroma?
LSPDFR Chroma is an ordinary LSPDFR API and RPH plugin, much like one of your favourite callout packs. It aims to link the Chroma SDK and LSPDFR together to bring visual indicators to your keyboard for in game stats and features.
This is currently WIP but several features have already been made. I also recognise this may not be massively popular, nothing like the various mods available on the forums currently. But I am making this entirely for my own entertainment and sharing it for the benefit of anyone else who might enjoy it.
Current Features
• F1 - F4 keys indicate the player's current health. Each key represents 1 quarter of the health bar and will switch from green to red if health is lost. In addition to this, when the player's health dips below critical (i.e the last 10%) the four keys will flash red!
• F5 - F8 keys are your lightbar! That's right, when you switch on your emergency vehicle sirens these keys will flash red and blue in an alternating pattern to indicate your lights are on. Yes this isn't useful, but hey. Flashy colours are fun.
• D1 - D9 (row of number keys, top of keyboard) are the in game default keys for fast switching to select weapon slots. Each number represents a different slot. With LSPDFR Chroma, the currently active weapon slot key will be highlighted
• Custom Highlight Keys allow you to set any key on the keyboard to a highlight colour. Making certain keys like the WASD cluster, or specific menu keys like B and N, stand out from the rest of the keyboard. Helping you to remember what keybinds are set!
• Customisable Colours! It wouldn't be true chroma without letting you set your own colours. Choose a background colour and highlight colour from any combination of RGB values!
Planned Features
As this is a WIP modification, there are several planned features to improve the functionality, including:
• Flashing Alert Key Got a callout coming through? The Y key will flash to let you know there is a callout to accept!
• Player Armour Indicator Health is great, but what about your armour levels? They should be visible too so you know if you're protected or not
• Vehicle Lights headlights on full beam? Indicators running? For those times when you can't quite tell in game, your keyboard will have you covered.
• As much customisation as you want! Why stop with just 2 customisable colours? This plugin will let you change everything. Enable or disable features. And even specify where you want those features to show on the keyboard.
• Developer API will allow plugin developers to integrate lighting features in their plugins.
• Don't use LSPDFR? An RPH standalone version may be created as well, at current none of the working features use LSPDFR.

Notice on other RGB Keyboards
In order for this plugin to work you must have a keyboard that is capable of using the razer chroma sdk. Keyboards that use CUE for example (Corsair Utility Engine) will NOT work. However if that SDK is simple enough to acquire and use I may attempt making this plugin compatible, just know that I will be unable to test it.
Anyway, thanks for viewing. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated 🙂
