So ... I'm currently using Corsair's iCue ecosystem, but I'm so sick of the proprietary aRGB connectors. I'm aware of NZXT CAM as well as ThermalTake's TT Sync and Cooler Master's stuff, but are there any other usb controllers and manufacturers that use a "standard" aRGB connector. I'm, also, using Corsair's K70 keyboard…

I have built many machines in the last 25 years, and now I'm ready to build my next machine. Intel's current offerings seem poor so I'm going to build an AMD machine.
