Dynamic Lighting is a new feature that Microsoft has created to resolve the fragmentation of the many applications that users have to install to control different devices that offer LED lighting, such as those available on mice, desk mats, keyboards, monitors, and countless others.<\/p>\n<p>The new feature provides a single experience to control lighting devices implementing the open HID LampArray standard without needing third-party software. Microsoft accomplishes this by working with device partners like Razer, Corsair, Logitech, and Asus.<\/p>\n<section class=\"custom-related-posts-wrapper\"><span
