Actually it slows down in every game.

The led's animations slow down or become kind of choppy in game, I don't know why though.

Sounds right IF

If the animations are from a driver, the load of the game can change this. And each game can differ so it's fine to not see it in game 1 but in game 2.

Game 1 and 2 ?

What do you mean by game 1 and 2 ? For example, the rainbow effect or color shift are slowing down or less smooth than if I'm being on the desktop or chrome. It only does that in games.

I don't call out games by name.

Only that IF the keyboard is animated by a driver, one game can have no effect and the next game can.

Not much of a mystery here.

So the slowing down..
Mar 24, 2017 5:09PM PDT

So the slow down appears because the leds have to load up the animation everytime although I'm playing, so it slows it down ? That's what I understood at least x))

Games have variable performance impact.

I guess you can over analyze this one.
