I find them a bit annoying, especially when they're everywhere and they're on full brightness as well.

I'm not a big fan of the fast rainbow effects but I do like having the option to choose whatever color I want for my backlit keyboards. A single static color often looks better in my opinion.

yeah, I agree. a static color is much better than an unicorn vomiting.tykork wrote:

I'm always curious why it's called RGB lighting. Why dont use other color system like HSV lighting or CMY lighting.

I think it's because the use LEDs so they require a digital signal, but I'm probably wrong.
it really depends what its on. if its your neon light strips in your room and you cant pick a color to go with then cool, but if its on a really bright annoying keyboard it's a hard pass for me.
I personally like them when in the mood.
And customizable lighting color is a must for me, i don't want a rainbow blaring at my eyes everyday

RGB lighting is alright, besides the rainbow coloring. I prefer 1 color (any kind of blue blue).
i like it on some things more than the others, it's actually somewhat useful for typing in the dark if you have it on a keyboard though i usually make my lighting really minimalistic and just make it a static grey kind of color
useless and a reason gaming keyboards cost so much
cooooooooooool~
If I get RGB it will be rainbow color with full brightness
it's cool but kinda forgettable when you realize that it doesn't cause you to become good

literally. those rainbows go by too fast...
I LOVE rgb
Calling RGB lighting a marketing scheme is like saying different flavored soft drinks or different colored cars is a marketing scheme. Or even something as simple as PAINT in general is a marketing scheme. Just makes no sense. There is always a demand for people to be able to pick what they want with everything. RGB is no different.
And before you go saying something like "well PC lights are just useless period" think about how many seemingly pointless aesthetic things you have in your life. Could be a poster on your wall or a figure sitting on your desk. I mean, unless you're just completely devoid of all taste
or sense of aesthetic pleasure.
Just my opinion on why RGB haters are wrong c:

I actually don't even have anything with RGB haha!. just some red LEDs behind my monitors and a white led strip in my computer. I'm just saying why I think RBG makes sense and is a good thing.Akumace1 wrote:

I think anything aesthetics added to a product is a marketing scheme. having a car is great, but it's even better if it's your favorite color. so RGB lighting is, by default, a marketing scheme, which isn't a bad thing. they start becoming a bad thing, personally, when done in excess.CrispySquirrel wrote:

you started name calling for no reason, Akumace, and you got your ass handed as well. very nice setup Crispy. keep the name calling out of this. it's no use.CrispySquirrel wrote:

Thanks haha!Winnyace wrote:

I suppose you're right. But I guess what I meant to say was marketing gimmick.Winnyace wrote:

Also I'm not sure what you mean by "it becomes a bad thing in excess" because it's a pretty personal thing. Meaning nobody else is really going to be looking at your RBG setup but you on a daily basis. Again, all about options. The more the better in my opinion. Even if that means somebody really loves rainbow unicorn disco vomit. And they can put RGB in everything and I would be fine with that too. There's always the option to turn it off.
Yeah, I agree.tykork wrote:

exactly. although, manufactures should make their product great first, then add such things to it.CrispySquirrel wrote:

Don't disagree with you there. I'd still pick a solid high quality minimalist keyboard from a lesser mainstream company like Ducky any day of the week over a fancy "gaming" keyboard with RGB lighting, built with maximum profit margins and half the cost sunk into advertising and brand recognition. From mainstream companies like Razer and Corsair.
That being said, there are still very high quality keyboards with no compromises that have RGB lighting.

I actually agree, you weren't name calling, and I wasn't trying to hand you your ass.
Wasn't my intention.

RGB lighting is a a techy aesthetic. It's not for everyone tho

End of story. I'm not starting shit. I don't want to be on anyone's bad side but I will stick up for myself if I get called out for making a joke.

As filler (boring outside lights), they're good.
As legitimate design, bad.

RGB lighting is not good if your playing games. All the light everywhere blaring at you is so distracting to what is on your monitor imo.
Kinda annoying when its really bright but at the same time its useful during nighttime.
RGB adds a kinda fancy effect, but personally, i prefer to keep it to minimum though, so it doesn't distract that much and.... less flashing rainbow puke
For me, RGB is kinda cool because it is beautiful as rainbow!
Everyone has their mixed opinions on RGB, but for me, it's just blinding and it's a distraction to work with. If I tend to do some work and get something done, I turn it off- if not and I just play some games, I turn it on.

I prefer static lights.

i like it, i just let others do themselves in general because as long as youre not hurting people in the process, its completely fine.
rgb is nice, but i usually have it cycling and fading between two colors slowly
like white to violet, and back
rgb where you can't toggle the colors is kinda gross, though. imo

I like them since they kind of add an aesthetic to my room, I will admit they are kind of being overused tho
