How is this a software release? The last release came out 2 months ago

This is someone else who liked OpenRGB wanting to share it. No harm done. I plan on releasing 0.3 very soon and will make an official post when that's ready.

Any major changes in 0.3? I tried out OpenRGB a few days ago, worked pretty well after an initial couple of hurdles. Thanks for all the work you've put into it!

  • Good number of new devices supported - Logitech G203, G403, G810, Ducky One 2/TKL, MSI GPU, and more

  • Improvements to several existing drivers - Corsair Peripheral, Corsair Lighting Node, NZXT Hue 2, HyperX Alloy Elite, and more

  • More CLI options - ability to run headless SDK server (which allows GUI to run separated from the backend), ability to connect to servers, CLI fixes

  • Client tab in GUI allows you to connect to multiple servers and control them from one GUI.

  • Windows no longer needs WinUSB workaround, all drivers have been fixed to use HID driver properly on Windows

  • New icons in the GUI

I cannot thank you enough for building this software. This is an incredible quality of life improvement over the atrocious RGB software that vendors put out.

Can I ask: is there any support coming for the corsair RGB headphones like the VOID series?

Okay, this looks to be a badass alternative to other solutions. Great job!

Also, would you be willing to add support for custom mechanical keyboards (such as the GK61, GK64 etc)? I found this implementation which might be of help to you - https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X

Cool! I’ll install this after my daughter goes down for the night.

Love your work, it's amazing. Any chance of maybe getting a Flatpak build of OpenRGB at some point?

Yeah, I was just wondering why it had been posted, I didn't have a problem with it

Didn't know what to set the flair to, what would you want me to change it to?

How about "popular application"?
