Polychromatic is a vendor agnostic front-end for managing lighting, RGB effects and some special functionality for keyboards, mice, keypads and just about any other gaming peripheral on your GNU/Linux system. The software aims to make it easy to create and co-ordinate lighting effects that work across all compatible hardware, even if you switch to another brand also supported by Polychromatic. Currently the only supported backend for polychromatic is openrazer.
