Openrgb is what you want. It’s tricky to figure out though. It’s not just going to recognize the device and poof magic. You’ll have to fiddle with HOW it’s connected - through your rgb header, bios settings, separate controller etc. Once it’s recognized, you may have to play with the settings for how many lights it has etc.
When I first used it, it thought it didn’t do anything. Then I learned and got it to do everything.
Perfect! I'm a Linux guy, happy to fiddle and learn things!
I never could get OpenRGB to work on Windows (it'd crash as soon as I launched it and I couldn't find a solution). I'll try it when I switch to Linux later this year and see if it works better for me then.
