Best RGB Lighting Software in 2026
SteelSeries GG leads this chart of 33 (7.5/10, free plan). OpenRGB is next (7.2/10, free plan), and Nexus is the next highest-placed with a free plan (6.9/10). RGB lighting software lets you control compatible lights and devices, with platform support and device scope shaping the choice. Compare whether a tool runs on Android, which devices it covers, and whether it offers the lighting controls you need. Android availability does not by itself mean Xiaomi-, Redmi- or POCO-specific support; check device compatibility before choosing.
