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 :)

It's a hard choice, can't seem to find the lighting node in my country. I wouldn't be shy to DIY a bit and I do have some Arduinos lying around, but I just know myself well enough that I'm not gonna get it done ...

I ended up buying the Razer Chroma mostly because of support for a massive amount of LEDs over several ports. And several other users reported that it still works well. The price tag isn't too bad either, around $40 here in Denmark.

I really cant stretch how much i appreciate your work on this project, keeps all our linux machines looking spiffy!
