Looked at the product page for it:

https://www.logitechg.com/en-ca/products/gaming-keyboards/g513-backlit-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html

There are indeed only *two* lights in the part of the keyboard where you would 
see Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock on a normal IBM keyboard.

The light on the *left* has an A with a circle around it under it, so I guess 
that's the Caps Lock key.

The second light has a G with a circle around it beneath. So I have to conclude 
that it probably _isn't_ the Num Lock light, and this keyboard doesn't have one 
of them *either*. Instead, presumably it indicates if the keyboard is in "gaming 
mode" or some such thing.

Yes, FN+F8 puts the keyboard in Game Mode. By default, that disables the window 
key, but it is configurable to have other effects.

Yes, somewhere in my searching, maybe the comments I read that G is Game
Mode.

On the "A" I'm mystified.  I did have the thought about an upper case A
indicating cAps lock, but it seemed unlikely.

How you work with a keyboard with no numlock/capslock is a mystery to
me.

I looked at all this stuff this spring.  I keep going back hoping that
they'll replace the model I really wanted (815) with something similar,
but no luck so far.

Since many keyboards use "Aa" to indicate caps lock, that was the first 
possibility that suggested itself to me. Unfortunately, I can't really find much 
documentation for the keyboard.

So I found a video review of the keyboard:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vso_cDLYKrM

but it didn't answer the question. However, I saw a glimpse of Logitech's game 
control software that goes with the keyboard, and the letter A was next to 'text 
block', so I wouldn't be surprised if the A light was configurable. Maybe you 
can see if you're in num lock and scroll lock on your screen.

FWIW, my bare-bones Deltaco keyboard indicates Caps Lock with an upper
case A in a square with rounded corners. Doesn't mean that's the case
with the model you found, but it's a data point at least.

Wonder whether you could program the scroll-lock and num-lock keys to 
change their illumination colour if the corresponding lock is 'on'?

I'm wondering the same thing.  I'm also wondering if it happens
automatically, which is why I need to hook mine up and check.

I could.  I'm just trying to keep my software as generic as possible.


The software I do this with has hard coded:

            os.system('xset -led named "Scroll Lock"')
and
            os.system('xset led named "Scroll Lock"')

So, I could just change the hard coding.
The software would be useful for anyone though and I have half
a desire to put it on github for general use.  So, I'd want
to make the toggle commands customizable.

So, yes I could use the RGB to toggle the color of any of the LEDs,
it's just going to be a bit ugly.

This is part of a tool I wrote that
monitors an IMAP mailbox.

Any unread mail, the scroll lock light goes on, a desktop icon changes
color and the count of unread mails is shown.  Each new mail is
optionally run through spamassassin and deleted if spam.  Each new
mail is matched to a pattern for the From/To/Subject lines and
a unique sound is played appropriately.

I'm not finding any straightforward way to get a functioning
scroll-lock indicator on the 915.  I think that it might be possible
by assigning a couple of layouts, one with the scroll-lock key one
color and another with it a different one (damn this is a nice
keyboard though--much nicer than the 910, at least I'm not hitting as
many typos--but it oughta be for the price) and then putting a macro
on scroll-lock that changes the layout in addition to sending the
scroll-lock.  But I don't know if that will work if scroll-lock is set
externally to the keyboard.

Thanks for looking.
Does it have working num-lock and I'm guessing that A light is
caps-lock?

To turn on/off scroll lock I use the commands

  xset -led named "Scroll Lock"
  xset  led named "Scroll Lock"

I don't know if Windows has an equivalent.

But since the keyboard lets me mess with each individual light,
I'll just set up a command to make scroll lock brighter/dimmer or maybe mess
with the light behind the G if that's supported.

I don't ever hit the scroll lock key, I'm just using it as an indicator.

Long ago when I first worked this out I found that turning on the caps
lock or num lock LED actually activated the function too.  Turning on
scroll lock didn't do anything I could notice.

Actually, I do sometimes hit the scroll lock key, when I want to invoke
the screen locker.  But that doesn't do anything to the light.

I liked the look of the G815 better.  I think it should be pretty nice too.
Looks like it'll take a week or so to get here.
