VENTING: The first hardware manufacturer to open source their RGB controls to allow third party software will be an INSTA-BUY.

first company to create software to disable all rgb will be instabuy.

A lot of companies already allow their rgb to be controlled by razer synapse.

I don't ever think that will happen, that's why off off brand companies making rgb are so versitile.

If it were me though I would go through a third-party company and design a mini platform, similar to a raspberry pi, with on board memory capability for firmware storage and SATA connection. From there you could use a SATA power from the PSU and a SATA 3 data cable to plug into the board.

Using that platform could allow you to build a variety of boards with different numbers of channels, like 8-10 ideally, and with the use of a developed software, you could choose the channel you want and control it individually from the software. board RGB could also be controlled from it as each part that lights up is its on channel anyway,

I imagine it would be fairly easy to have an interchangeable pin system to have 5v and 12v ports, and the board would be flexible enough to even include PWM fan control into it. Every rgb cable and fan control could be routed into the back and nothing would ever have to touch the board except for a single, possibly 2 SATA cables.

The idea is already in practice on the RGB fusion software and in bios control programming, it's just a matter of reverse engineering it to be inclusive of all the products from different brands. Having the hubs would mean not being limited to splitter cables and the like to control multiple components from a single header.

I should really look at starting a gofundme
