  • That’s a nice way to use it.
    Not for me though, since I prefer audio cues for those things.

    I use the RGB on my gaming mouse to help find it in the dark, but that’s all. Since it’s usually too bright, all 3 RGB values are kept under 10 (out of 255).

    As for the keyboard, I am mostly fine with a single colour LED. RGB would be considered a nice to have for seasonally changing colours. I may find different zone based colours useful, but I need to find a good enough keyboard first.


  • I am able to get components with unwanted lighting all over the place, but none where lighting is desirable.

    • Didn’t ask for lighting in my fans, got them.
    • Didn’t ask for lighting on my motherboard, got it.
    • Didn’t ask to a blinding light in the power indicator of my monitor, which is brighter than the screen itself. Had to tape it up.
    • Took a real while to find a cabinet without glass/acrylic stuff, because that’s all people sell nowadays.
    • Asked for a good backlit keyboard for a reasonable price. I had to make cutouts out of glow-in-the-dark stickers.
      • RGB everywhere by default, but getting even a single coloured backlight on a keyboard ramps up the price like anything.
