A few years ago only keyboards, mice and other peripherals were illuminated, later to also include fans and other devices. Nowadays, almost all hardware devices integrate RGB lighting, and as everyone has their tones and effects, it is sometimes difficult to integrate everything into a homogeneous ecosystem. In this article we are going to tell you what are the best tools to sync RGB of all your devices so that they can work in a homogeneous.
There are really fancy programs that allow us to manage even each individual LED… of their products. For example, with CORSAIR iCUE we have a powerful tool to configure the RGB of the PC as we wish, but the problem is that it only works well with the brand’s products. Therefore, in this article, we will only include programs that allow you to synchronize the RGB of your devices, regardless of their brand.
SignalRGB, the most complete to synchronize RGB
With SignalRGB, you will not only be able to synchronize the RGB of all your products, including peripherals, and regardless of their manufacturer, but you will also have a myriad of pre-configured effects to give your hardware ecosystem exactly the look you want. wish. The problem with this app is that the free version is a bit limited in this regard. It’s the most comprehensive, but it can also be a bit tricky to set up at first.
SignalRGB can be downloaded for free from the official website, it requires you to register with an email address, and its price for the PRO version is $4.99 per month, although they have an annual plan for 39, $96 (or 3.33 per month).
JackNet RGB Sync, lightweight and easy to configure
JackNet RGB Sync is perhaps the easiest to use for users who don’t want the hassle when it comes to synchronizing their PC’s RGB lighting, although admittedly it doesn’t. isn’t as comprehensive and doesn’t have as many effects as the previous one.
The free version is pretty comprehensive on its own, but if you want, you can access additional features with the Pro version, which is priced at $5 per month or $15 for a lifetime license.
OpenRGB, the free option to synchronize RGB
As the name suggests, OpenRGB is a free and open source tool to synchronize the RGB of your devices. It supports a large number of devices from different brands, with a minimalist interface that is quite complete and easy to use; the bad part is that it has a learning curve that can be overwhelming at first, especially for novice users.
RGB Fusion, Mystic Light, AURA Sync, etc.
Finally, we have the motherboard manufacturers’ own tools, such as RGB Fusion 2.0 from Gigabyte, AURA Sync from ASUS, Polychrome RGB from ASRock or Mystic Light from MSI. Most hardware devices are compatible with “board software” as they say, although we warn you in advance that these programs do not usually get along with device lighting and are difficult to integrate. in sync, they’re pretty much dedicated to hardware, and only hardware connected directly to the motherboard’s A-RGB and RGB headers.
Overall, they are free and the good thing is that they are not just limited to the software maker itself. The best thing to do is if you have a Gigabyte motherboard, for example, try RGB Fusion 2.0, while if your motherboard is ASUS, the logical thing to do is to download AURA Sync.
