Aurora RGB
What it is
Aurora RGB is a free Windows app for coordinating RGB lighting across brands and adding or improving lighting support for games. Its listed device types include keyboards, mice, mousepads, fans and WiFi lights, with integrations for Logitech Lightsync, Razer Chroma and Corsair iCUE. The project lists native integrations for games such as CS2, Dota 2 and League of Legends. Lighting can respond to game events including health, ammo and cooldowns.
Users can create layered effects and gradients, make interactive keyboard effects, and script custom lighting effects and devices. Aurora supports importing and exporting profiles, and includes an automatic updater. The maker says the app is optimized for low background resource usage while gaming. Installation instructions offer a GitHub installer or a manual archive installation. Builds labeled “Prerelease” may contain breaking changes; installing one manually means receiving prerelease updates until switching to a full release build. For issues or feature discussions, the project directs users to Discord and GitHub issues.
