  • openrgb-python

    A python client for the OpenRGB SDK

  • I have experience with OpenRGB as the OP mentioned, whatever you can do with the manufacturer's software it's on it, provided that the hardware you have is supported. It'll be a huge plus point if you can code as well because OpenRGB also has SDK exposed as well, so you can use something like https://github.com/jath03/openrgb-python which you can use to make your own pattern. Should be on pip idk I got it from aur btw

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • AuraConnect

    Discontinued A simple application to sync AURA devices using the Razer Chroma Broadcast API.

  • god I could kiss you, thanks for making this post! I do have one thing to add, there’s a guy who writes code that connects synapse 3 and asus aura sync, a great tool if you have the razer argb controller you were talking about, and an old 12v 4 pin rgb strip you want to use with the same effects. this software links them up, and has worked pretty much without fail for me, even recieving semi regular updates. one last thing before I go, he does all this for free, so I’m sure any extra support you can throw his way wouldn’t go unappreciated.

  • MSIRGB

    Discontinued Alternative to MSI Mystic Light for controlling motherboard LEDs, without the fixed 7 colour limitation.

  • For those of you who own an MSI motherboard and don't want to install Dragon Centre, give MSIRGB a go.
