What it is
Aurora RGB is a free Windows application for coordinating RGB lighting devices across brands and adding or improving lighting support for games. Supported device types include keyboards, mice, mousepads, fans, and WiFi lights. Brand integrations listed by the project include Logitech Lightsync, Razer Chroma, and Corsair iCUE. Native game integrations include CS2, Dota 2, and League of Legends. Lighting can react to game state such as health, ammo, cooldowns, and other events. Users can build layered effects and gradients, create interactive keyboard effects, and script custom effects or devices. Profiles can be imported and exported, and an automatic updater is included. Installation offers a GitHub installer or a manual archive route. The project describes low background resource use for gaming. Builds marked Prerelease may contain breaking changes; manually installing one keeps prerelease updates until switching to a full release build. Support is directed to Discord and GitHub issues. All listed features are free and open-source.
