OpenRGB is an open-source application that controls RGB lighting across devices from many manufacturers from a single app, without requiring proprietary vendor software. It supports Windows, Linux, and MacOS, offers profiles, effects, an SDK for third-party control, and a CLI/headless server mode.
Use cases
- control all RGB devices from one app instead of multiple vendor tools
- manage RGB lighting on Linux or MacOS where manufacturer software is unavailable
- synchronize lighting across multiple PCs
- control RGB lighting from third-party software via SDK
- save and load lighting profiles
- create custom LED patterns with a graphical device view
When to choose
- you mix RGB hardware from multiple brands and want one unified tool
- you run Linux or MacOS and vendor RGB apps don't support your OS
- you want to avoid proprietary, account-required, resource-heavy vendor software
- you need programmatic or headless control of RGB devices
When to avoid
- you only use one brand and are happy with the official vendor software
- you cannot accept any risk of hardware issues from reverse-engineered protocols
- your specific device is not on the supported devices list
