Some gamers do. Like most humans they are attracted to bright, flashy patterns of colors. (most animals actually are). But most mature gamers I know, would rather put some money in better equipment, than flashy colors. So, gamers are as different as the rest of us. Some are caught by the hype, some are not. You see it in cars too. Some like bling, som focus on the actual car.

Me? I like RGB in my keyboards backlight. I don’t like it to flash, but I like to make it an orange/reddish color, because that’s easy on the eyes, when using your computer at evenings or nights. That’s about it.

Some like it and some dislike it. A lot of it can be changed or turned off anyway, so most just pick what they like.

Then there are the RBG-phobes. They talk about it like it’s the devils work and seemingly get upset if other people have it in the privacy of their own home.

I dont care much for RGB in everything.

got a pc with a good deal. First thing I did was electrically cut off all unnecessary leds

I really could care less what it looks like. It just needs to be functional/practicle

I like some of it, but not everything. Customizable is good, but if it’s all preloaded and unmodifiable then it’s more a mockery of self-expression, isn’t it?

I don’t care much about my case and the internals but you can pry my flowing; gradient; pink, purple, and blue-lit peripherals, with gold ripples after a key or mouse click, from my dead hands. It’s the little things that make me not want to eject out of my chair when dealing with work shit. I feel like a golden bi wizard when I’m at my desk

I like the stuff because my kinds like all the rainbow effects. Normally while working or gaming I will set the effects to be off though.

I think a lot of these designs probably appeal to the early teen demographic who are begging their parents for their first gaming computer. My tower has one glass side because I like being able to see my components, but I didnt find any RGB necessary. Some of the colorful see through cases are quite pretty when arranged. I don’t understand why mice have to look like bionicles though.

Flame decal 🔥🔥🔥 I thought it was cool 10 years ago, Now my actual setup is black and blue light

Just purchased a new PC and was surprised it didn’t play Donna Summer when I first booted it up.

I would like it if it was subtle, maybe a few thin rgb lines around the main board like traces, and something similar on other components.

I hate the everything blaring random lights look, its like a kids attempt to draw attention, it works but when you look you wish you hadn’t.

I was riding the first RGB bling bling wave back in the early 2ks and after a while I got sooooooooooooo annoyed by every light my PC emitted.

Same today.

I give a frog about RGB and when I bought my actual PCs back in early 2024 I used an old Chieftec case I had standing around for the first and bought a cheap case of Amazon that has no glass.

Both stand in a way that air can circulate and the PC stays cool, but light is blocked.

My gaming pc lives in a soundproof cupboard 5m away without a case because quietness is more important to me than any visual element, so any RGB thing gets avoided, or turned off.

I can appreciate a very colour coordinated and well put together “gaming” computer in a purely aesthetic sense. Some are genuinely pretty and I get that some folk take a lot of pleasure out of making something that looks beautiful and best of luck to them. But I’m not one of them.
