Dynamic Lighting is a new feature in Windows 11 that allows users to sync the RGB lighting on their connected devices with the content on their screen. For example, when watching a movie with a lot of red in it, the RGB lighting on the keyboard and mouse might also turn red. This can create a more immersive experience and make the devices look more stylish.
Dynamic Lighting is currently only available for a limited number of devices, but Microsoft is working to add support for more devices in the future. To use Dynamic Lighting, you need to have a device that supports the open HID LampArray standard. This standard is used by many popular RGB devices, including keyboards, mice, and headsets.
