RGB. Please. Finding hardware that doesn't light up like a Christmas tree is harder than it should be. Even a simple power LED can light up an entire room.
I don't really mind RGB, but my complaint is why every single LED has to be vivid electric blue. I want old red LEDs back, they were nice, they didn't scorch my retinas.
Agreed. My PC case came with a blue power light, after one night of watching the blinking illuminate my entire room I ripped it out and swapped in a dim red one myself.
For a quick fix, you can make blue power LEDs slightly more tolerable by sticking a piece of yellow post-it note on top of them, it turns them white.
I have RGB keyboard and mouse because they were cheap. I only use red leds and it feels great. Modern but not annoying.
Not anytime soon. Way too cheap to include(like cents for a mouse or ram and a few dollars for a keyboard) , and way too popular not to include. Well at least you can disable it.
right, you fan disabile them using their unique software which you have to install for every component, signing away your life (cough cough Disney) in the process
https://openrgb.org/ has decent hardware support
Yeah, all of my case fans have a switch on them, when I had it in a bedroom I opened the case and clicked them all off, no big deal, all the parts have been swapped, newest part now has to be 10 years old : /
