Recommendations for a Linux and OpenRGB-compatible A-RGB controller. (lemmy.world)

I have been trying to figure out if i should get a better controller than the onboard controller on my ASRock motherboard.

The only problem is that it doesn't seem to support enough LEDs (or more than 5V/3A which is cutting it close) or direct mode.

I have been looking at the Razer Controller but the supported devices page and old Reddit posts seem to be torn on how good the support is in OpenRGB.

I mostly just need to get a working direct control since the direct control mode currently makes my ASRock motherboard unbootable (temporarily).

Any suggestions are welcome :)

I have a Razer controller and it works reliably for me. It makes it easy to control multiple RGB devices in my system, and I haven't had issues with it and openrgb.

Nice to know that it works!

Can you use the direct mode for the individual LEDs? seems to be neccesary for the effects plugin (but i might be mistaken)

Yes. I use direct mode exclusively. I use it with the hardware monitoring plugin. I don't need or want breathing/flashing/etc. 😅
