RGB shit everywhere

Does anyone even like them? Looks like a tacky Christmas tree to me. owl-pissed

I love mine yeah. It's childish and ridiculous and honestly that's why I love it. Those of us millennials who grew up in backwards repressed households gotta enjoy our childhood as adults instead. Covering my entire living space with ridiculous lights is one of those ways I live today for the child that barely survived it then.

Oof I didn't mean to denigrate that for you. You certainly shouldn't feel bad about that rat-salute-2

Personally, I wish they would just include an off switch.

Oh you didn't, I'm happy with who I am. RGB lights are stupid as fuck and not for everyone, they are just for my particular brand of stupid Care-Comrade

all do digitally, some do physically.

and it should theoretically be simple to make a physical switch off the adressable header if you wanted a physical switch.

I haven't found that to be true of cheap mice and keyboards, or I have to do a certain key combo every time it loses power. I usually end up desoldering the LEDs, but sometimes that makes it stop working so I have to resolder them and put tape around them.

for keyboards and mice, that would depend if it came with software, if it did, it probably has an off setting (e. g my old redragon mouse did, and that was like a 12$ mouse like in idk 2016?) keyboard definetely would be hard if it was a really dirt cheap keyboard.

They can be any colour rather than every colour

I hate it. I've got one thing on my desk that changes color and it's my trackball, everything else is just a white backlight or a green status light.

I have a small amount of rgb and it's cool

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I like rgb on my keyboards because I play in the dark and being able to see my keys is actually functional.

Glowing lettering makes it easier to pick out an obscure symbol you barely use on your keyboard

I hate RGB crap and find it annoying that it's basically mandatory
