Is it me or you cant get currently RGB ram without being forced into specific motherboard brand? (and even then its not guaran

Its like this whole technology should stay one more year in devs prototype boards. And it would be nice if PC hardware manufacturer's would finally grow up and come up with an unified standard for control and data transfer for greater good, instead of each playing in their own sandbox and screeching at anyone who tries to use their toys.

But anyway, back to RGB ram:

• - G.Skiill - Total mess, its developers openly state that its own beta software will conflict with every single motherboard control software and not only; people say thing like "its ok if you stick to factory rainbow"; like wtf, how is this even being sold? From what I've seen it it 'may' or 'may not' work with Asus motherboard using Aura sync
  
  - Corsair - They have their own poor software that lacks basic features and they don't seem to tell whether any motherboard control software works with it
  
  - Team Group - Their software is, of course, beta again but they tied itself to Asus (again) and its generally new product and i can't seem to find information how it works with Gigabyte/MSI (and by work i don't necessarily mean that motherboard software will control RAMs, i mean that ill be able to run both motherboard software and ram software and it wont kill each other like rabid honey badgers)

Not that 3 brands is a big choice, but seriously, its absolute mess out there with all the compatibility issues. Anyone to care to share, if they own any of RGB rams, what motherboard brand they use and if they ever experienced compatibility issues and if yes with what software? Please, no "i just use it at factory settings and don't use any software" RGB is about customisation and leaving it at factory settings because developers cant git gut is not a solution.

Although the software implementation by the (third party)ram makers have openly stated they lack support, the board makers offer it in their own way. I've seen first hand that Asus's Aura Sync is better suited to G.Skill's Trident RGB kits. MSI's boards lack much but I haven;t seen how Gigabyte's implementation works(and how good they are).

I've always had this opinion that RGB is over rated. I've worked with them back in 2001-2004 and since then have learned that if yo'd like color in your build, you can just call it a day with a particular color scheme instead of living with a rainbow puking machine.

Yeah i've kind of already decided ill go for plain no LED ram, tho i wanted to know whats other people take on this.
The reason why i like RGB's is not because of rainbow puking effect, i simply doesent want to stick with one color scheme Good mood? Go all blue, bad day? Switch to nice green, dark outside? Something brigt like yellow/orange. Switching in between full color schemes is my goal.

But even with this mindset im apparently a minority seeing how most RGB accessories are reviewed "here is the rainbow kthx bye - calling it a day".
