NZXT-ESC v6 Beta is Coming

[mrgogo7]

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share that NZXT-ESC has been completely rewritten from the ground up.
Instead of updating the existing version, I decided to rebuild the project to achieve a much more stable, flexible, and powerful architecture.

🌐 Current Version vs New Beta

The current stable version will continue to run as-is on GitHub Pages:

The new beta version is now available on Cloudflare Pages:
