  • QMK-OpenRGB

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

    • There are also efforts to make QMK capable to control the leds via software. There is OpenRGB with unofficial support in a QMK OpenRGB fork. So currently no official implementation. Also see: QMK OpenRGB Protocol and QMK Compatibility

  • qmk_firmware

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

    • In the custom world most keybords run the QMK firmware. This allows with some effort real customization. If you never have programmed, customization could be hard. But the end result will be rewarding. But back to the RGB lighting. In QMK you have a bunch of effects and you can also define your own effect (which can also be static). The main difference is, that the software on the keyboard controls led, no software involved and thus operating system independent. This also means if a run application a automatic switching to different profiles is not possible with QMK.
