  • OpenRGB

  • The supported devices list[1] looks pretty good. The support for individually addressable LEDs (WS28212 and friends) also means you could do pretty much any custom setup you wanted.

    GTK application to configure gaming devices

  • I found this last week and was really happy to come across it. I ditched Windows for my main desktop/gaming machine in 2020 partially because there are some fantastic open source projects that replace many of the Windows vendor-specific utilities that look like they were designed by teenagers in the 90s.

    https://github.com/libratbag/piper is another great example that handles mouse configuration.

  • I use this and it's amazing. There's also another visualizer program by the same person to do custom visualizers that works on the RGB stuff in your case.

    I had a great time pointing my camera at my computer for a meeting, and letting everyone realize their voice was controlling the RGB (with a slight delay for zoom of course).

  • FanControl.Releases

    This is the release repository for Fan Control, a highly customizable fan controlling software for Windows.

  • What's a good equivalent for fan control that is universal, lightweight and open? Do people use https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases ?
