In their own words
Cosmic Byte Orbit
Cosmic Byte Orbit is a free browser-based configurator for adjusting compatible Cosmic Byte peripherals and saving settings to the device. It supports button and key remapping, macros, DPI and sensitivity, RGB lighting, polling rates, and controller stick, trigger, vibration, and motion settings. Supported devices can store profiles, and the portal provides guided firmware updates for supported gear. Its listed live devices include Helios and Velox mice, the Phantom TKL keyboard, and Lumora, Ares Pro, Drakon, Blitz, and Stellaris controllers.
Setup requires a desktop Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge, plus USB or a 2.4 GHz dongle; Safari, Firefox, mobile browsers, and Bluetooth-only setup are unsupported. Desktop use is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux, though Linux and some devices require the free Cosmic Byte Connect helper. Configuration can begin without an account; logging in enables account storage and syncing for settings and profiles. Some controllers may not be configurable on macOS.
Fnatic OP Software
Fnatic OP Software is a free utility for configuring supported Fnatic gear on Windows and macOS. Users can adjust mouse DPI, lift-off distance, and polling rate, set keybinds and macros, and customize lighting effects with a choice of 16.8 million colours. Supported headsets can use virtual 7.1 surround sound. Users can create multiple profiles, cycle through them, and import or export them to different devices. The early-access product page describes up to eight backlight profiles, with controls for colour, animation speed, and pattern direction. Competition mode lets users choose which buttons and lighting effects remain active during tournaments. Macros can be recorded and assigned; the page also describes one-click actions to launch applications or open files and links. Settings can be stored in onboard device memory. Fnatic describes OP as early access and provides Windows and macOS downloads. Its help article specifies 64-bit Windows from version 8 onward. RUSH, Clutch1, and Flick1 devices have a separate Gen1 download, while the Lamzu x Fnatic THORN is incompatible and requires Lamzu software.
