Don't buy a Windows license, don't reboot and don't use a Virtual Machine. Try a free trial of CrossOver to run your Windows software on Mac, Linux and ChromeOS.
I’m going to try the trial version, see if this could let me run the steelseries software on Linux. If it does, I will jump ship from windows to Linux.
If anyone have suggestions through other means to get it to work, I would love to hear it!
I have a apex 350 keyboard with lots of macro keys on it.
I’m looking for software with a easy to use GUI that i can use to setup the keys and control my lights. I assume the media buttons will work on any linux version?
Media buttons are standardized so they should work. I believe the apex 350 is supported by openRGB for lighting control but I don’t know about what would support the macro keys.

There are some alternatives to the official Steelseries software, what are you using it for specifically?

I wish steelseries just would support Linux. But on Reddit they said the market on Linux is too small for them to support it.
There was something of unofficial guide provided by them but I tried for days and it just didn’t work.
I really like keyboard and don’t see me getting a new one anytime soon.
You could try:
•lutris
•play on linux
•bottles
I recommend bottles for anything that’s not available on steam (i.e. driver software) worked pretty well for me
