What's the "best" RGB ecosystem in 2019 for internals + peripherals?

I googled around, and basically what I found was:

  1. MSI Mystic Light causes untold amounts of frustration in users (oddly enough no one actually bothers to document what exactly happened).
  2. ASUS AuraSync has zero support for peripherals besides some dubious ROG keyboards/mice.
  3. Corsair iCue doesn't work with anything that isn't from Corsair (no go for me since I am doing a custom water loop).
  4. Gigabyte/ASRock are barely contenders in the RGB scene.

I guess what I'm asking is, what's the "least worst" option here?

I'd like to minimize the amount of garbage on my PC and avoid manual syncing.

 

Let me know please.

There is work arounds to sync Asus Aura with Corsair Icue. This is probably your best option with it. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=180890

That link says that it doesn't support the new 20xx series GPUs, or X370 and B350 ASUS boards.

Doesn't say anything about Z390 or any AMD TR4 chipsets though...

 

I'd certainly like to figure everything out before pulling the trigger in June, since I will be spending $9000 on 2 PCs.
