    Hello Lads and Ladettes.

    I'm sure this is the oldest question in the book, but does anyone know where I can obtain the Command Centre (center in US) for my old faithful M11x R3. She (my laptop) has been left in the cold it seems.
    All I wish to do is change the colour of my keyboard from blue to ANYTHING ELSE, but it seems that Dell have made their decision to abandon us. (Note to self: never buy a Dell product ever again). Yes I know Alienware is a behemoth in it's own right.
    Are there any other 3rd party drivers that will do the job?
    Enough babble.... thank you all for your time.

    The command center from Dell's site should work with Win10. My R1 is running 10 and the command center works fine. You may have to run it in compatibility mode, but it should work nonetheless.

    Search for the 2.8.10 version of the Command Center for laptops. This will work with the m11x R3 on Win10.

    Also try running in compatibility mode if you still have problems.

    Hopefully this helps!

    Can confirm, this works on Windows 10 x64 with my M11x R3. You need to install/enable .NET functionality though.
