| 5 | +Keyboard Visualizer turns your OpenRGB-supported RGB setup into a spectacular light show for your music. Keyboard Visualizer is able to listen to any input or loopback audio device on your computer so it can visualize audio from any music player, website, game, or other application. |

| 7 | +To use Keyboard Visualizer with your setup, you must first install OpenRGB and set it up to detect all of your RGB devices. OpenRGB can be found here: |

| 11 | +## What about the old Keyboard Visualizer with Razer Chroma SDK, Corsair SDK, etc? |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Development on this version has stalled as I'm not interested in supporting a multitude of proprietary SDKs that change constantly and only work on Windows. This version remains as Keyboard Visualizer 3.x and downloads are still available in the Release submodule. I will accept pull requests for this version if others wish to keep it alive, but I plan to focus primarily on the OpenRGB version (4.x) going forwards. |

324 | 149 |
|
325 | 150 | * I created this project for fun mostly, and Razer's support of sending free products for me to integrate is awesome, but several people have asked if I'd accept donations. I've gotten back into cryptocurrency and mining recently so if you want to send some Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or Ethereum my way you can do so with the addresses below. I don't want to bother with PayPal and its ugly fees and I detest online advertising and block all ads on my PCs so I would never put ads on my videos or programs. |
