OpenRGB is a free and open-source software suite designed to control the RGB lighting of your PC components without depending on manufacturer software. It is a lightweight and feature-packed application that allows you to set the colors and effects of your components’ RGB lighting from a single app with just a few clicks.

OpenRGB provides a comprehensive suite of features that make it easy to control and customize the lighting of your components. It includes the ability to control each LED individually, to switch between the lighting modes built into each device, and to apply the same colors to multiple components. The software also supports a wide range of RGB devices, including RAM, motherboards, video cards, fans, keyboards, mice and more.

Features:

• Comprehensive Support for RGB Devices: OpenRGB provides support for a wide range of RGB devices from many manufacturers, including RAM, motherboards, video cards, fans, and more.

• Full Color Customization: OpenRGB offers full color customization with a color picker and the modes of each device, while the Effects plugin adds software effects and animations.

• Flexible Control Options: OpenRGB provides a variety of control options, including the ability to control each LED or zone individually and to resize addressable LED zones.

• Integrated Profiles: OpenRGB allows you to save and switch between different profiles, making it easy to quickly change the lighting of your setup.

• SDK and Network Control: OpenRGB includes a network-based SDK server and client, so games, music visualizers and other computers can control your lighting.

• Cross Platform Compatibility: OpenRGB is available for Windows, Linux and macOS, and it has been tested on x86 and ARM processors, including the Raspberry Pi.

• Open Source: OpenRGB is open-source software under the GNU General Public License version 2, and new devices are constantly being added by the community. On Windows, RAM and some motherboard devices need the PawnIO driver and administrator rights.
