The only control I need for RGB lighting is "off", thank you very much. And I'm not being facetious - I made the mistake of buying a board with a bunch of useless red LED lights on board (an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming). I should have known better I guess... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeF8GcjtiCQ (facepalm)

Apple definitely is lacking in comparison to their (former) reputation, but it's saying something that they're leagues better than everyone else when it comes to creating an integrated hardware-software ecosystem.
I was fully expecting M1 to be a shit show on the software front, but Rosetta 2 has made it a non-issue for all but a minuscule minority of applications. Now that we're well into the M1 lifecycle and more software is moving to native builds, it's just going to keep getting better from a compatibility standpoint.
The state of RGB is such a nightmare, and I am very glad OpenRGB exists. If I wanted to control all LEDs on my relatively new "Gaming" PC (Windows 10), I'd normally need software from Gigabyte for the GPU (which straight up doesn't work [0]), Ducky for the keyboard, a no-name Corsair knockoff software where the name escapes me for the mouse, actual Corsair software for the fans, and NZXT for the AIO. All of them are…
Yeah, everything in this space is so horrible. I have a laptop with an RGB keyboard. Its default settings are bright blue LEDs for every key. The only way to turn it off is to boot Windows 10 and start an incredibly shitty manufacturer program that takes over one minute to display a window on the screen and even longer to become interactive. It was so bad I reverse engineered it in order to make a Linux version. Coul…

Care to share an example of someone better?

I think by 2021 most people will understand this simple reality: Other than Apple, every other hardware company is _not_ a software company. Yes, they write software. It is universally garbage. If there is anything well-done about the software, it will be because the hardware company licensed (or more likely, just ripped off) someone else's software. Google (a software company) cannot make any of the hardware compani…
DJI stands as a very notable exception. They are frequently Apple-level good on both hardware and device firmwares. It's a different style, but similar levels of polish.

Comparing them to Apple is not a very big a complement, however. Apple isn't well known for having the best software. Apple often has well-designed interfaces and has worked hard to improve human-computer interfaces (both the hardware and the software). To be clear, I do not consider that to be "best-in-class software" though.

I fixed the glitch with a soldering iron.

Same with me. This program allows me to turn the LEDs off, so if you like me have lots of shiny LEDs you wish never were there, this is probably exactly what you’re looking for ;)
