Enjoy these Valorant OLED screens for your Apex keyboard, as well as some RGB and effect customizations to go along with them.
Viper
Viper's green poison-themed style is easy to customize in SteelSeries Engine. Try a green breathe base effect, reminiscent of Viper's constantly ticking gas meter, and set a green reactive layer to light up and fade single green keys when they are pressed.

Cypher
Without a bold a color scheme like the other Agents, try thinking outside the box for Cypher. Spotify app costs money now. Here we've set F5 and F9 to glow like Cypher's teal eyes underneath his mostly grey outfit. As a bonus, set 'Trap Wire' to a line effect in dark red (Admiral Ackbar style) so you don't forget to yell 'it's a trap!' while laying trap wires :)
Combine with this OLED logo:
Brimstone
Clean. Tactical. Set a solid background of Brim's faded blue-grey uniform, with brilliant orange that fades away after each keystroke. For extra fun, bind a rippling yellow reactive effect to 'X' for your explosive Orbital Strike ultimate.

These are just some ideas to get you started. Don't forget that every single key can be customized with unique base colors and reactive effects, so you can set up custom effects for reloading, inventory slots, and each individual ability key.
Don't forget the music
Load up your favorite Valorant Agent's Spotify playlist to really complete your Agent setup.
Another OLED tip
If you want to use your OLED for something more practical, use the 'System Monitor' app in SteelSeries Engine to keep track of your CPU, GPU, and RAM while in-game. Easier than tabbing out of Valorant!
Again, a huge thanks to Email Guy Kleon for making these logos so you can Valorant the heck out of your keyboard. Enjoy!

RGB isn't juuust for looking awesome: it can be pretty darn useful, too. If you've used SteelSeries Engine before, you probably know that it can help you keep track of health, abilities, and more inside games like CS:GO, Dota 2, and Minecraft. If you use Discord to chat with friends, there's an app for that, too.
Whether you obsessively check Discord throughout the day or only use it while gaming, SteelSeries' GameSense app keeps you in the know. Here's how it works:
Open SteelSeries Engine and select the Apps tab. Here you'll find a number of fun apps, including Discord. Turn the Discord app 'on' to connect your account.
Note: I found that the Discord app did not connect unless all other GameSense apps were off. If you recently updated the SteelSeries Engine, double check all your apps because some of them may have turned back on by default.
Steelseries Apex Pro Mini
Select Configure to open the options interface. Using the dropdown menu, select which RGB device you'd like to customize. The app supports Discord events for Notification, Voice Activity, Personal Voice Activity (when you're talking), Specific User Talking, Muted, User Joined Channel, User Left Channel, Joined Channel, and Disconnect. Choose your key/button bindings, color, and whether you want the device to flash when your selected event occurs.
If your device has an OLED screen, you can customize what kind of information gets displayed, such as who is speaking in voice chat or what is written in a direct message.
Discord Gamesense In Action
Now comes the fun part - I left Discord running in the background and configured the app to run on the Apex 7 keyboard, Rival 650 wireless mouse, and an XL QsK Prism Cloth. For the purposes of this blog, I left everything in their default settings. As you can see, all three devices reacted in various ways according to what was happening on Discord.
Chat
Several unread messages popped up on the server:

OLED shows who's speaking:
Steelseries Apex Pro Spotify App User
The Rival mouse indicates when someone is speaking (right side) and the SteelSeries logo illuminates when it detects your microphone:
Users in voice chat are assigned a color and number from 1-0. During a voice call, each key lights up according to who is speaking. F1-F8 lights up when you speak. F9-Pause will light up red according to which user is muted.
Benefits
The Discord GameSense app is ideal for when you're doing something else - i.e. gaming or working with Discord running in the background. I was able to work and play without missing any messages. Special thanks to SirKaiwade, Lennart, and Blake for giving me a hand while I filmed the effects!
Do you use the GameSense app for Discord and if so, how do you customize it? Share your tips, videos, and screenshots with us on Twitter and of course, check out the SteelSeries Discord server!
