Following an extensive testing phase with various release candidates, version 1.0 brings significant improvements in hardware compatibility. The update adds support for the QMK and VialRGB protocols, including specific forks used by Keychron. In addition, the software now recognizes a wider range of MSI and Gigabyte laptops and motherboards, as well as Clevo light bars and laptop keyboards.

Graphics card support has also been expanded and now includes various controllers, with PowerColor GPUs and PNY Epic-X-ARGB models specifically mentioned. As for RAM, this version improves the functionality of Corsair DRAM controllers and introduces support for RGB memory controllers, such as those found on older Intel X299 motherboards.

A notable technical innovation in version 1.0 is the integration of Logitech HID++ 2.0 controllers. Although current support still varies, this implementation lays the groundwork for expanding compatibility with a wider range of modern Logitech peripherals in future updates.
