@github-actions github-actions released this 29 Oct 02:34

Release Highlights

  • Music rhythm and GIFs on the keys (S75 Pro): the keys can follow whatever is playing on the PC, with the same 12 colour schemes as the official driver, or play a picture or GIF from your library. Needs the USB cable.
  • Lights off with the monitor: the S75 Pro's keys and side bar turn off when the display goes to sleep and come back when it wakes up.
  • New battery statistics: the old numbers could be way off (my mouse showed 179 % a day). Estimates now go by when the level actually changes and come with a range. The SC900 Pro's two batteries are tracked separately, and there's a reminder at 80 % while charging.
  • Bluetooth: devices on Bluetooth now show up as connected, with the battery level Windows reports.

Release Notes

New Features

  • Added music rhythm on the keys, or a keyboard effect of your choice while music or video plays (Lighting tab).
  • Added animations on the keys from a picture or GIF in your library (Lighting tab).
  • Added an option to turn off the keyboard lighting while the display is off (Configuration tab, on by default).
  • Added a picture library to the Screen tab. Drag the preview to choose the visible part.
  • Added Ctrl + Alt + Shift + A to restart AULA Toolkit when something gets stuck. Can be turned off in Settings → General.
  • Added a battery care reminder at 80 % while charging, as a Windows notification and on the on-screen display.
  • Added tracking for the SC900 Pro's swappable batteries (Performance tab). Each battery keeps its own stats.
  • Added Bluetooth connection status and battery level for the S75 Pro and SC900 Pro.

Improvements

  • Reworked the battery card: level, time per 1 % in use, daily drain, time left, full charge time, health and cycles. Figures show up with a range once there is enough data.
  • On the USB cable the keyboard now shows an estimated level, then 99+.
  • Long GIFs are fitted to the screen's 141 frames without changing their speed.
  • Screen uploads show their progress, also on the on-screen display.
  • The keyboard clock is synced every time the keyboard connects.
  • "Disable official AULA software" now keeps the official apps from starting at all. Windows asks once for administrator approval, and uninstalling AULA Toolkit gives them back.
  • The live keyboard view pauses while the official AULA driver is running, so its lighting doesn't end up in your profile.
  • The warning about running AULA software moved to the bottom of the window.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the official driver's Music Rhythm was read as a knob change and overwrote the profile's effect.
  • Fixed devices not reconnecting after switching between the USB cable and the receiver.
  • Fixed the log filling up with errors while a device was being unplugged.

Localization

  • New strings in all 10 languages.
  • Added a Russian README (machine translated, corrections welcome).

Known Issues

  • Windows SmartScreen may show a warning because the app is not code-signed. Choose More info → Run anyway.
  • Music rhythm and animations on the keys need the USB cable. On the 2.4 GHz receiver the music setting uses a keyboard effect instead.
  • Over Bluetooth only the connection and battery level are shown, settings can't be changed there (same as the official software).
  • The AULA F75 and SC900 versions other than the Pro have not been tested on hardware yet.
  • Close the official AULA software while using AULA Toolkit.
