OpenRGB als Linux-Alternative zu Logitech G Hub

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

OpenRGB can replace Logitech G Hub for users who mainly need RGB lighting control and basic device configuration on Linux. It supports many Logitech devices, lets you set colors, create profiles, and even script lighting changes. However, it lacks the full macro recording, advanced button mapping, and firmware‑update features that G Hub offers. It is best suited for gamers who are comfortable with a more manual setup and who do not rely on the proprietary Windows‑only features of G Hub.
