Touchpad LED Indicator Color Guide on QRD Spark N5

Difference Between Touch-Pad LED Indicator and Adjustable RGB Lighting

The LED indicators near the Touch-Pad on the QRD Spark N5 controller serve as fixed function lights showing connection and mode status. These LEDs are not part of the controller’s adjustable RGB lighting system and cannot be customized.

This is similar to the PS4 official controller design, where player number and connection status LEDs are fixed and not user-configurable.

On PS3/PS4/PS5 consoles, the LED colors in this area remain fixed and cannot be changed via system or controller settings.
