Security News > 2023 > February > Microsoft adding native RGB lighting controls in Windows 11
Microsoft will soon add native controls to Windows 11 for controlling the RGB lighting on computer peripherals, like mice and gaming keyboards.
The new RBG lighting controls are currently in development as a hidden feature of Windows 11 build 25295 in the Windows Insider developer channel.
Once enabled using ViVe, new "Ambient lighting controls" settings will appear under Settings > Personalization > Lighting.
Clicking on a supported device in the list will allow you to control the brightness, lighting effect, the effect's speed, and color of the lighting.
The lighting effects include changing the RGB lighting to a solid color, blink, rainbow, or rainbow.
Microsoft is also yet to announce officially that Windows 11 Insiders can now test the native RGB lighting support after installing the latest builds, meaning there is no guarantee it will make it into a production release of the operating system.
