I have an issue where i cant sync keyboard ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless , as in scenario 2.2 above. I have ensured armorycrate is top under background light control. I can only change lighting effects separately for the keyboard. All firmware up to date.

I have Armoury Create 5.9.13.0 installed

There is no Aromoury Create  - Aura Sync listed under Background Lighting Control under 

Personalization Lighting Control. The only thing listed there is Dynamic Lighting Background Control

hi there, this is what i mean, but this setting still has windows dynamic lighting background controller rather than armoury crate controlling lighting on the keyboard. This is new to me so i have probably missed something. My mother board, fan and ram rgb all work and sync under  Aura, but i cant get the keyboard synced.

Hello 

Your windows dynamic lighting settings look good.

Under the Lighting page, click Aura Sync.

Does your Scope II 96 Wireless show in Aura Sync? If yes, click Aura Effects to control the lighting.

If your Scope II 96 Wireless still isn't showing in Aura Sync, have you updated the firmware to support the ROG Omni Receiver? - ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless | Gaming keyboards|ROG - Republic of Gamers|ROG Global

hi thanks for your comments. I found an option in bios to enable/disable windows dynamic lighting. I changed setting between off, on and back to off. Then restarted and all worked fine. Started system again this morning and keyboard had been 'un checked' in sync devices. Went back into windows and turned dynamic lighting on devices off and back on and then keyboard was picked up again under armoury crate sync devices. It doesnt seam to keep the sync settings. The pic shows all correct but only after turning 'use dynamic lighting' off and back on. Very odd, dont really want to have to reset each time i turn the pc on 😞
