One of the biggest complaints about RGB is the software ecosystem around it. Each manufacturer has its own app, its own brand, its own style. If you want to mix and match devices, you end up with a ton of conflicting, functionally identical apps competing for your background resources. On top of that, these apps are proprietary and only for Windows. Some even require online accounts.

What if there was a way to control all your RGB devices from a single app, on both Windows and Linux, without any nonsense? That is what OpenRGB aims to achieve. One app to rule them all.

Characteristics

Easy user interface

OpenRGB keeps it simple with a lightweight UI that doesn’t waste background resources with excessive custom ../../static/images and styles. It’s light on both RAM and CPU usage, so your system can continue to shine without cutting into gaming or productivity performance.

Eliminate Bloatware

If you have RGB devices from many different manufacturers, you will likely have many different programs installed to control all of your devices. These programs don’t sync with each other, and they all compete for your system resources. OpenRGB aims to replace every single piece of proprietary RGB software with a lightweight app.

Open source

OpenRGB is free, open source software under the GNU General static License version 2. This means that anyone is free to view and modify the code. If you know C++, you can add your own device with our flexible RGB hardware abstraction layer. Being open source means more devices are constantly being added!

Cross platform

OpenRGB runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS. RGB control is no longer a Windows exclusive feature! OpenRGB has been tested on X86, X86_64, Arm32 and Arm64 processors including Arm mini PCs such as Raspberry Pi.

OpenRGB SDK

OpenRGB offers a network-based software development kit, which allows third-party software to control all of your RGB. This allows for game integrations, music visualization, ambient lighting and anything else you can imagine. SDK bindings are available for several programming languages, including C++, Python, C#, Java, and more. OpenRGB also includes an SDK client so you can synchronize multiple systems over the network.

Plugin interface

OpenRGB offers a plugin interface. Plugins can add additional functionality to the OpenRGB user interface. These can provide new functions without having to run external software. Existing plugins include an effects engine, an E1.31 data receiver and a visual layout editor.

Supported devices

The device categories listed here support OpenRGB, and the specific devices listed have been tested to work with OpenRGB. If your specific device isn’t listed, it doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work with OpenRGB, just that it hasn’t been tested before.
