Posted March 12, 2021 On keyboard(borderline on a Mouse too) : Yes, but only if it can be dimmed down to barely visible as well. Anywhere else : No thanks. Bright lights in my peripheral vision is highly distracting for me. I also see zero point to having a light show in my PC case. Like, why? Are you seriously spending your time watching the inside your case? Sure it's "pretty", but I sure am not going to be looking inside my case every minutes to see if my fans are still spinning or whatever, we got BIOS alarms for that kind of crap. I even modded my alarm clock to dim the display further. Barely visible when the lights are on and just bright enough that I see the time at night without hurting my eyes or forcing me awake.(yes, I still use a good old fashion alarm clock instead of using my phone, it just WORKS and never runs out of juice in the middle of the night just because I forgot to plug it in and then I overslept and missed hours of work and...)

Posted March 13, 2021 unicorn barf is a massive turn off. it is so obnoxious. In case lighting should be used as an accent, not as the main feature. Set it all to 1 or 2 colours that match the rest of your desk, or even your wallpaper. I have RGB fans, but they are set to white only, and fairly dim so they are not distracting. ◒ ◒ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 13, 2021 I like it on my keyboard, as back lit keyboards are super handy and I prefer by KB lit up purple. But that's it. I really do not want my PC lit up like a Christmas tree for late night gaming sessions. I appreciate I might be in a minority on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 13, 2021 Unicorn barf (hat tip to @Arika Sfor the term), no. But I do love it as a set piece to illuminate and accent the system. I've got my vanity system set to a single color. There is no evident motion or fluctuation to the illumination (other than some minor motion in the reservoir). It just casts the system in a nice blue light. Every time I look at it I drool a little bit. I've added more light to it since first building it to more evenly illuminate it. I'm thinking of getting some RGB RAM to get some light in that area because the center of the mobo only has the blue haze hitting it right now. #Muricaparrotgang Folding@Home Stats | Current PC Loadout: Small Bigger Biggerer Biggest Fractal Design Focus G NZXT H1 Lian LI O11 Dynamic XL Fractal Design Meshify C FX-8320 Ryzen 3 3200G Ryzen 5 3600 Ryzen 7 3700X 120mm AIO 120mm AIO Custom 280mm loop Noctua NH-D15 A motherboard ASRock B450 mobo MSI x570 mobo MSI x570 mobo 16gb DDR3 16gb DDR4 @ 3200 16gb DDR4 @ 3200 16gb DDR4 @ 3600 a melange of HDDs/SSDs WD 1tb m.2 WD 500gb m.2 WD 1tb m.2/2tb HDD PNY GTX 1070 x2 GTX 1070 GTX 1070 FE MSI RTX 2080 TI some 650w PSU 650W SFX-L 80+ Gold MSI RTX 2080 Super EVGA SuperNova 750w 80+ GOLD Corsair RM850x 80+ GOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 13, 2021 I chose for: it's ok. Since I got my new build last year I finally have the chance to use RGB, it wasn't possible on my old build. So I finally got some RGB peripherals and I'm getting into it. I like RGB, but you can easily overdo it. For me I just need more lighting in my case, which is why I started it.

Posted March 13, 2021 Chooses "its ok" Really depends on how its pulled off. Theres beautiful RGB and then theres eye bleach RGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 13, 2021 I could care less either way, but I really don't like it when it is overdone. My PC has RGB fans and RAM with the GPU shroud also having RGB. The fans' RGB is turned off but there's no easy way to disable the RGB on both the RAM and GPU shroud without resorting to the notoriously crappy software needed to control them. For keyboards and mice, I don't mind at all. It's a nice way to personalize but more than that is just a bit too far IMO. As for why I chose RGB components when I was never going to use them...when you're building a computer in the midst of a shortage, you take whatever they have that fits your needs.

Posted March 13, 2021 PCs should have minimal RGB, and only used as an accent colour, not a main. RGB on wireless mice is stupid, as your hand covers the RGB and wastes the battery. Keyboards are fine if you can’t touch type, otherwise more distracting than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think rgb lighting on a PC is an active negative. Not only is it not worth extra money, but it actually makes the thing worse. If I wind up with a PC that has RGB I will actively attempt to nullify it. Paying a fifth of the cost of a machine in RGB as some seem to is just stupefying. You can get a really really nice desk lamp for $100. Far better than the $300 in rgb I’ve heard of being spent. Rgb on a mouse body is less dumb because my hand covers it when using the computer and it can act as a power light (you can dim an overly bright power light btw with aluminum tape and a pin.

Sometimes it isn’t though. When an objects primary attribute is metal thickness or wood hardness for example older can be better simply because some materials like copper were often much cheaper. It’s a case where design improvements are overwhelmed by material robustness. People haven’t gotten smarter but they haven’t gotten stupider either. Not a pro, not even very good.
