 Some of you think RGB lighting is cool, Ed, and you wear your RGB pride on your sleeve. Some of you are closet RGB lovers, hiding your secret passion under the blanket. Some of you couldn't be more different from those people. Some of you hate RGB. You call it pointless, stupid, cancer. But whether you're sitting there ready to throw your wallet at your screen, or your palm at your forehead, there's one thing you all have in common right now. A burning curiosity about who makes the best RGB computer memory on the market, and I have the answer. Synergy is the amazing software that lets you share your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers. Check it out now at the link in the video description. For a company whose copy-paste game is so weak that their website actually contains references to Kual channel's memory, the marketing spin on Geels Evo X is actually very good. They boast that their HILM approach enables dynamic RGB lighting without any performance or stability penalty, because it separates the RGB lighting components from the rest of the PCB. And their use of a standard 4-pin RGB computer is so good that it's hard to believe that a standard 4-pin connector means across the board, get it? Compatibility with software lighting control across any CPU type, motherboard, or even breakout control box like the ones CableMod includes with their case lighting kits. And they even include four basic presets on a little switch if you want to power it from the other side of the module off a 9-volt or a 12-volt fan header. All of that makes a lot of sense in my mind, so I get... Hey, wait a minute. This is just an RGB strip taped to a normal RAM module. I mean, they couldn't even get the thing to sit on there straight. And that ignores that you will need power or 4-pin RGB leads running to every individual module, a cable management nightmare. What the Evo X does have going for it is that top to bottom, Geels lineup passes the R&D savings directly to the consumer coming in by far the cheapest out of all our RGB RAM with a wide range of capacities and speeds available, though only a handful of them were in stock at Newegg. Corsair's Vengeance RGB DDR4 represents a significant step up in cost, but in return you get a whole lot more product development. They not only custom built their modules to allow the RGB lights to be powered directly from the memory slot, but they actually built their RGB controller with storage that allows you to change your lighting effects through the OS. The memory section of Link isn't especially comprehensive, but I'd say most of the important bases are covered. Breathing, pulsing, shifting, and delay adjustments for dim to dim animations with brightness adjustments apparently coming soon. And Corsair gets credit for learning from their experience launching the K70 RGB keyboard. It's really easy to use this time. Another nice touch is that Corsair allows you to flip your light bar cover so that the logos are all aligned on X99 boards. Overall compatibility is pretty darn good with both MSI Mystic Flare and Gigabyte RGB Fusion working on Intel and supported in Beta on Ryzen, though that doesn't fully make up for the product lineup that's limited to 8GB modules or the lack of support for ASUS Aura Sync, especially when you consider the price parity with G.Skill's equivalent spec Trident Z RGB kits. This stuff is bananas. They managed to power the RGB lighting effects through the dim slot just like Corsair. They worked evidently with ASUS as far as I can tell on their comprehensive RGB lighting control software. The interface is nearly identical to Aura. And they threw in individually addressable LEDs to take their swagger to a whole other level. So you can run breathing, pulsing, flashing, rainbow effects, and so much more on individual dims or synced up between multiple ones. The software is all still Beta and programming it is a little unintuitive and tedious, but it's pretty darn rewarding as long as you've got a compatible system. Intel and AMD are supported on ASUS with MSI, ASRock, and Gigabyte support still pending. But to their credit, they have a huge variety of products available all the way up to 3600 megahertz high density kits with 16 gig dims. That is to say, if you're willing to pay more than twice what Giel charges for their RGB kits on a per gig basis. So bottom line then, Giel's solution, while not much of an engineering step up from gluing an RGB strip to the top of your memory module, is inexpensive and boasts the strongest compatibility with older systems and off-the-shelf lighting control kits. G-Skill is the most feature-rich, but relies on more limited platform support for anything but the stock rainbow wave animation. And Corsair strikes a fine balance between broader compatibility and eliminating cable clutter. So the answer then, to the big question, as usual, is I guess it depends. Do you need both a Mac and a PC for the different tasks that you do, or do you have your own home computer and a work-assigned laptop that you need to use at the same time? Well forget about having two keyboards and two mice, that's stupid. Synergy allows you to share one mouse and keyboard between two or more computers, so you'll no longer get confused about which keyboard or mouse is for which, and it even works across multiple operating systems, Windows, Mac, and Linux. There's a basic and a pro version with one-time payment and lifetime access to features like a clipboard that shares between the computers, dragging and dropping files between the computers, the ability to set up hotkeys, and more.
