Windows 11 may soon have an RGB Peripheral Device Management tool.

Native RGB effects control tool in Windows 11? This one may arrive in a few weeks.

Microsoft may soon save you the hassle of installing yet another third-party software to control the RGB effects of your peripherals. Indeed, in the latest Windows 11 beta that was recently offered to testers registered on the Dev Channel, there is a Windows Lighting option in the Personalization section of the Settings app. The latter allows you to control lighting effects on connected peripherals such as keyboard and mouse. A Windows 11 tester shared screenshots on Twitter.

This user also points out that references to this function have been present in the source code since 2018. In any case, Microsoft seems to be finally ready to roll out this option to the general public. RGB tuning applications are now legion, almost every prop manufacturer has their own, but unfortunately they are not always very stable. Judging by the screenshots posted on Twitter, testers may use these lighting sections instead.

In this part of the settings, users will be able to select the accessories connected to the PC. For example, if you select a keyboard connected to your PC, Windows 11 will allow you to control the brightness level, the type of lighting effect, and the speed of transition between effects. Users will even be able to customize the colors.

In addition, there will also be an option to map lighting effects to Windows 11 system settings. This will automatically select the color code, saving users from having to find the hex code of a particular color to map it in system settings or anywhere else. – RGB customization effects for the party.

In addition to your usual peripheral keyboard and mouse, Windows 11 will also allow users to control RGB effects on accessories like headphones. It should be noted that this feature is not listed in the Windows 11 build 25295 changelog. However, Windows Central has shared a method via the Terminal to enable it manually, just like you would with an experimental feature in Chrome by enabling a specific flag.

Given the current frequency of testing on the Windows Insider channel, it will most likely be a few weeks before this feature makes its way into Windows 11 stable and therefore into the hands of the general public.

Build 25295 introduces new device lighting settings. Is this the beginning of the end for low end RGB apps for gamers? ? The spec for this is from 2018, and references to this feature have been around for years. They haven’t canceled it ? https://t.co/oG4JbKsoeB pic.twitter.com/bMtxCH8REo
