MSI and SteelSeries have once again paired up to work on the newly launched Optix MPG series curved gaming monitors, which are now supported by SteelSeries Engine. This tool is used for alerts, like cooldown timers, stats and the tool is even robust enough for Discord notifications. By using 5 different RGB zones in the front on the monitor you can program lighting effects at your whim.
