I have been trying to figure out if i should get a better controller than the onboard controller on my ASRock motherboard.

The only problem is that it doesn’t seem to support enough LEDs (or more than 5V/3A which is cutting it close) or direct mode.

I have been looking at the Razer Controller but the supported devices page and old Reddit posts seem to be torn on how good the support is in OpenRGB.

I mostly just need to get a working direct control since the direct control mode currently makes my ASRock motherboard unbootable (temporarily).

Any suggestions are welcome :)

    Nice to know that it works!

    Can you use the direct mode for the individual LEDs? seems to be neccesary for the effects plugin (but i might be mistaken)

      Yes. I use direct mode exclusively. I use it with the hardware monitoring plugin. I don’t need or want breathing/flashing/etc. 😅
