The fact that you need "non Corsair adapters" to use non Corsair products says it all.
All those Christmas effect that sincerely I really dislike needs to know how many led is connected to the devices, if you connect a third party device, can you specify how many led the device have in ique?
Even if yes, I repeat, I can't uninstall the motherboard software, so really no need for another software from Corsair that adds Christmas effect and drain my wallet.
I'm not buying Corsair products anymore just for this.
No Corsair fans where I prefer them, no custom loop because of this RGB ecosystem.
Hope that things will change in the future, that every manufacturer will use the common ws2812b and that this "non standard way of doing simple things" will stop.
