I have a CM Storm Devastator and cannot get the backlight working on Mac. I have followed the instructions below :
- 3 versions of LED backlight color for your option *Each Devastator pack comes with one single color(red/ green/ blue); 3 backlit versions for users to choose from.
- Find great deals on eBay for mac tools led light. Shop with confidence.
- Go here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/HID_LED_test_tool/Introduction/Intro.html
- Click the little 'Download sample code' button
- Open the downloaded folder and go to Build / Release
- Drag the HID LED test tool file to your Applications folder
- Launch the OS X 'Automator' program
- Choose 'Service' document type
- Under 'Library', click 'Utilities', and drag 'Run Shell Script' to the blank area / workflow pane.
- For 'selected service receives' choose 'no input' in 'any application' (important)
- For 'pass input' choose 'as arguments' (important)
- For 'shell' choose '/bin/bash'

You dont need Xcode, the source is available on a (probably unofficial) mirror
Just open the 'build>release double click 'HID LED test tool', the keyboard will start blinking then just press Ctrl-C
