About Dynamic Lighting

Windows 11 brings many new features like Enhanced Taskbar, DirectStorage, multiple desktops, etc. Dynamic Light is one of the newly added features in Windows 11. It offers granular settings to tweak the lighting of connected devices.

Before the existence of Dynamic Lighting, there was only a single option to enable the ambient lighting mode. You could tweak the effects and brightness of each connected device to some extent. Now, you are able to tweak lighting according to apps in the Dynamic Lighting section.

Dynamic Lighting also allows apps to control the lighting when another app or game isn’t in use. Not all devices support Dynamic Lighting, but the support for that is arriving soon. At present, Dynamic Lighting supports a handful of Razer keyboards and mice.

Several device manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, HP, HyperX, Logitech, Razer, and Twinkly have cooperated with Microsoft on Dynamic Lighting. As for the operating system, it is only part of the Windows Dev Insider channel.
