The wonders of marketing making people believe that RGB vomit is desirable.

The only LED i care about is white.

I’m over 30, but even when i was in my early 20s I couldn’t stand the blaring lights. A HS friend built up a rig with full flashy RGB shit and I was like “why?” - He thought it was cool, possibly still does.

I mean, I’m supposed to look at the monitor, not the fan or the mouse. Keyboard blacklight is good, tho, so long as it’s not red nor a dancing rainbow. Yellow or white are the best kb backlight imo

The only RGB I run is for my keyboard and only because I sit in a dark room and everything is black, so it can be difficult to see where the keyboard is. Back when I ran a regular mouse I also had an RGB mouse for the same reason, but carpal tunnel forced a trackball so now the mouse never moves and it no longer needs RGB.

Apparently lemmy attracted all the boring bastards i guess. You all must have gray walls, a black desk, and a plain black box for a pc tower and think its peak.

I like splashes of color in various ways in my home, my pc is simply an extension of that. Theres ways do to it tastefully. Grab a Fractal case, set your fans to a solid color.

I think a lot of people like the customization that rainbow RGB more than anything else.

I hate it. I resent that I have to get an app to turn off the horrible lights in the computer and peripherals.

I hate those lights so much. I only want one light of my entire computer it should be right next to the on button to let me know it’s on. That’s it. I had that. It was wonderful. Then when I upgraded my graphics card it came with a light and now the thing glows green and I hate it. And don’t get me starting the stupid Mouse.

I bought a RGB mouse a few months ago, tried it out for a few hours, got annoyed by the bright lights at night and turned off the lights.

For some reason, the Roccat software messed up and now it flashes green when clicking the middle mouse button (I couldn’t even find an option in the software to make it do that), but that’s kinda cool, so I kept it.

My computer is a sleeper build in an old server steel case. No RGB anywhere, and as a bonus, I can even sit on it, if I want. :D

I got fractal design r6 because it’s dampens noise quite well. There was an option for a glass panel, but I got the solid one instead because it insulates sound better.

Yep. I’m the (apparently minority) weirdo that LOVES the rainbow vomit lights. I have lights everywhere on my computer and desk and it brings me so much joy. It just feels happy to me to have the bright rainbow colors slowly shifting. I find it delightful and will pay extra to ensure devices are not only rainbow capable, but are the right type of rainbow (slow shifting) that I love. My side of our gaming office drives my husband nuts. I regret nothing!

I’m fairly photosensitive so I disable a ton of extra LEDs and cover up some necessary lights (monitor power buttons, caps/num lock indicators) with dimming stickers to make them easier on the eyes.

The only exception is the computer itself. I enable very dim lights on the case, mobo, and GPU which switch between Green/Blue/Red depending on CPU temps - it’s nice way to quickly see how much stress my PC is under.

No. I turn off the flashy LED shit.

im for whatever is cheap and effective, only performance to cost ratio matters to me.

I was looking for something with a nicge natural wood finish. LED is dine but no blinking fading, just a solid line without any distraction.

I couldn’t care less about the looks. I wanna game not attract gaming-mates 😁
