Game Integration Effects are immersive lighting experiences that react in real-time to what's happening in your favorite games. They transform your RGB setup into a dynamic extension of your gameplay, responding to in-game events, health status, ability cooldowns, and more.
What Are Game Integration Effects?
Game Integration Effects use SignalRGB's patented screen capture technology to analyze what's happening on your screen and translate that into responsive lighting. Unlike basic screen ambience, these effects are specifically designed for each game, triggering custom animations based on in-game events like:
- Taking damage or healing
- Using abilities or ultimate attacks
- Winning or losing rounds
- Collecting items or completing objectives
- Environmental changes and atmosphere shifts
How They Work
Game Integration Effects operate in layers:
Background Layer: By default, effects start with screen ambience that mirrors your game's colors and creates an ambient glow around your setup.
Event Triggers: Custom animations play on top of the background when specific in-game events occur, like flashing red when you take damage or pulsing blue when you use an ability.
HUD Displays: Many integrations include HUD effects that display important game information directly on your devices, like health bars on your keyboard or ammo counts on your mousepad.
All of this happens in real-time as you play, creating an immersive lighting experience that responds instantly to your gameplay.

Customization Options
Every Game Integration Effect can be customized to match your preferences:
- Enable/disable specific triggers: Turn off effects you find distracting
- Adjust colors: Customize effect colors to match your setup theme
- Position HUD elements: Place health bars, mana displays, and other HUD effects exactly where you want them on your devices
- Control background brightness: Adjust or remove the background layer entirely
- Optimize performance: Fine-tune capture frame rate to balance responsiveness with system performance
Performance Considerations
Game Integration Effects use screen capture technology to function, which requires some system resources. SignalRGB is optimized to minimize performance impact, but you can further reduce resource usage by adjusting the capture frame rate in Settings > Application > Video.
Lower capture frame rates use fewer system resources but may slightly reduce the responsiveness of lighting effects. Most users find the default settings provide an excellent balance between performance and immersion.
