Description:
Windows 11s RGB lighting hub is here  and many PC gamers will be over the 
brightly-lit moon.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Windows 11 is getting a previously rumored feature to give users centralized 
control over peripherals with RGB lighting. 

This was another of many revelations pertaining to Windows 11 at Microsofts 
Build conference, and was detailed in a lengthy blog post by Panos Panay, 
whos Chief Product Officer for Windows and Devices. 

The feature is called Dynamic Lighting (in the Settings panel) and the 
promise is that Windows 11 will make it easy to effortlessly set up and 
customize devices with RGB lights. 

The ability to control all RGB lighting needs from one central Dynamic 
Lighting hub in Windows 11 is important, because as Panay observes, if you 
have multiple devices, it can be a real pain to install a bunch of apps from 
different manufacturers to deal with the lighting controls for those 
peripherals. 

Were told that Dynamic Lighting will be going into testing later this month, 
meaning in the next week, so well get to see it in action in Windows 11 
preview builds soon enough. 

The workings of the feature were previously uncovered in testing back in 
February , so this addition is not a surprise. Analysis: Over the moon, or 
not interested  which are you? 

This is a feature you either wont care about  if youre not a gamer, or you 
hate RGB lighting and think its a load of showy nonsense  or youll be over 
the moon that its arriving. 

While it might not sound like a huge addition to Windows, we cant 
underestimate what a boon itll be not to have to install multiple third-party 
apps to control lighting if you have, say, an RGB mouse, gaming keyboard , 
headset, and maybe some case lights, and so on  all from different vendors. 

Those various apps can add up to a lot of bloat for the system  particularly 
in the case of some of these clients, which can be worse offenders in terms 
of bogging down the system than others  and you can avoid all this with 
Windows 11s RGB hub. 

Plus, of course, just having all the controls present in one handy settings 
panel is just so much more convenient than having to work across multiple 
RGB-related apps. 

With the feature entering testing imminently, we can hope to see the Dynamic 
Lighting hub inbound with the big 23H2 update later this year, where itll 
certainly help to liven up whats threatening to be a bit of a yawn-fest 
currently .
