Fuck signal. If you pay a subscription fee to control the RGB lights on your computer you are an absolute chump.
I can't believe that's real. Why? Why does anyone do this? Who is this stupid with their money?
Give some context and alternatives.
Why?
What's wrong with signal? Isn't it better than being locked into corsair software or whatever overpriced proprietary ecosystem? If I bought LEDs, why wouldn't I also be willing to pay for a way to play with them? It just feels like you wanted to call people chumps and I only presented the question to confirm if there are better alternatives or if you were just flinging insults.
OpenRGB: "Am I a joke to you?"
both OpenRGB and SignalRGB still work less than buying into an ecosystem. I really wish OpenRGB was better so I can actually control my RGB on Linux properly
Thank you.
But they literally are chumps by the very definition:
A gullible person; a sucker; someone easily taken advantage of; someone lacking common sense.
But hey you do you and pay $5 a month to make the lights pretty.
