Back in the day, I knew what I would get from ASUS and their AURA tech. Pretty simple, just choose what you want and go. My LEDs did what I wanted, it was simple. But no… no they said. Instead we want you to download most of a gig of bullshit to do the same thing, but with extra fucking steps.

I’m pretty sure my light controlling software is now tracking me. I’m not sure if the pattern of my LEDs are watching me or not.

How the shit did we let this come to pass? Why do we let these monstrosities into our life?

I’m part of the problem, I know. I just want my lights to do what I tell them to.

    RGB software is such garbage. Aura sucks, Synapse sucks, iCue sucks, Polychrome really really really sucks, RGB Fusion sucks, they’re all bloated garbage designed to lock you into an ecosystem and produced by the lowest tier of programmers around apparently as they are unstable and usually incredibly bloated messes.

    This nonsense is why I started working on what eventually became OpenRGB.
