Additionally, there's also a toggle for users to "Match my Windows accent color" while specific lighting devices will have an "ambient lighting" toggle. Some PC devices are shown, such as the Stream Deck MK.2, Gaming KB, and Precision Mouse, and each have their own individual personalization options, meaning a user's connected devices can vary in style.

While Microsoft has yet to officially announce the new Windows 11 update, this new native RGB support update would also mean that users won't have to rely on third-party software to customize the lighting of their accessories.

As of January 21, Microsoft is no longer selling customers Windows 10 Home or Pro.
