Rebind vs vendor software
G Hub, Synapse, and iCUE only program their own brand. Rebind remaps any USB keyboard and mouse on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and Rebind Link adds hardware output.
Each vendor app programs only that company's hardware. Mix a keyboard from one brand with a mouse from another and you run two apps. Swap brands next year and you start over.
Rebind sits in front of any USB keyboard and mouse, whatever the brand. Your remaps move with you to another device or operating system.

Vendor apps give you per-device profiles. Rebind gives you Luau: coroutines, HTTP and WebSocket, screen sampling, per-app activation. Block an input, rewrite it, or fan one key into a sequence.

Use vendor software when all your gear is one brand and you want onboard memory and RGB.
Use Rebind when you own a mix of brands, want your remaps on Windows, macOS, and Linux, or want a scripting runtime.
Use both: vendor app for RGB and onboard profiles, Rebind for scripts and remaps that follow you.
Will Rebind work with my Logitech, Razer, or Corsair gear? Yes. Any standard-HID USB keyboard or mouse.
Do I keep my RGB? Yes. Rebind leaves lighting alone, so your vendor app keeps running the RGB.
