Individual Per-key RGB on Predator Triton 300 (PT315-52)

I own a Triton 300 and I'm kinda bored of just having a constant rainbow going across my keyboard, and the zones are kind of awful looking.
The keys themselves each have an RGB LED, as I can see those by lifting any one key slightly.

I'd like to control each key's RGB individually as the keys have the LEDs to do so, or be told why that isn't possible with the current hardware.
I'm happy with using 3rd-party software as well (and it would actually be preferred to the resource-hungry PredatorSense bloatware)

    its due to the controler zones of the motherbaord, rather than each led being an adressable, only sets of them are i belive on that model so its the wavy effect rather than per key :(

    Why is the motherboard unable to send signals for each key? I'm not an expert with RGB keyboards, but I'd assume that there's an RGB controller for the keyboard and that's what the motherboard communicates with, right? What's actively stopping the laptop from setting each key?

    It depends how that controller is wired up, rather than each led having its own address, its only the zones which do. By doing it to a zone you save money as you dont have to manage each unique key, only 4 or so addreses
