RGB controller FAQ

Answers to common questions about RGB software performance, safety, data collection and day‑to‑day usage.

Do RGB controllers always hurt game performance?: Most modern controllers only use a small amount of CPU and RAM. Performance issues tend to come from heavy background services, overlays or bundled extras, not from basic lighting control itself. In our reviews we highlight tools that keep resource usage modest, such as Skydimo and OpenRGB.
Is it safe to have more than one RGB app installed?: It is common to have multiple tools installed, but you may run into conflicts if they try to control the same devices at the same time. We generally recommend picking one primary controller and disabling lighting features in the others (either in BIOS or their own settings) wherever possible.
Do RGB controllers collect personal data?: Policies vary. Some tools collect usage telemetry or link accounts; others, like Skydimo, focus on local‑only control without user profiling. Always check the official privacy policy and avoid unofficial download sources.
How do I know if my devices are supported?: Start by checking the official compatibility list or community wiki for each controller you are considering, then cross‑reference with our device‑support matrix for typical coverage patterns.
