    Hey guys firstly, I am new here, just registered to post my new creation.

    Recently i found this awesome thing called " LightFX Extender" on github, it basically makes AlienFX work on logitech and lightpack devices.

    With this i can keep my alienware laptop and mouse in sync.

    Anyway after seeing this i wanted to do something for the alienware community as-well so have created "AlienFX DB".

    Basically AlienFX is a database of applications and games which support AlienFX and the 3rd Party LightFX Extender.

    Hi! Welcome to our Community.

    There are some old threads ( example) covering this topic, but they contain dated information and haven't had any active discussion for a good while. A new thread with updated information certainly can't hurt. Feel free to grab some game titles from the old lists and update this thread.

    Hi Mr Fox, I have already looked through a few previous threads and added all the information to the DB, According to Dell there are over 100 applications supported so there must be more but i don't know what they are.

    Thanks, adding a youtube video field to the applications page which allows a user to enter a youtube video id to show a video demo of the lightfx.

    EDIT: Added

    Also changed it to have lightfx extender version and arch all in 1 field

    Also i should probably mention that lightfx extender is a 3rd party tool made by someone i'm in communication with which allows you to use AlienFX on non alienware hardware and it even works on alienware hardware with other hardware.

    I use it for my logitech g600 and alienware 15 and it keeps all the light effects in sync during game play.

    EDIT 2 : I added a livechat section for discussion of AlienFX and AlienFX DB

    If the mouse is RGB and uses standard logitech SDK then LightFX Extender should work with it, i didn't make LightFX Extender i just made the AlienFX DB and helped test LightFX Extender on actual alienware hardware.
