Flashing RGB light are legit the most annoying shit ever. I just have a black box for a case and my peripherals glow a dim solid color (so I can see them in the dark) if at all.
Nobody puts their RGB into flashing rainbow except for displays in shops.
Who only do it to show what kinds of colours you can choose.
It is so you can match the colour of every part to whatever you like. Without the manufacturer having to determine colours beforehand.
People absolutely "do". Mostly because they cannot be bothered to change the default setting or because they are teenagers and actually like it
Oh you sweet summer child.
gestures at my entire uni classroom, in which nearly all the people I know have RGB peripherals and computers at home
I largely mean flashing in general, it's all just distracting to me. Also most people I know personally actually like the rainbow madness. Even if they try to match their keyboard and mouse, they'll still often have a unicorn box. They also love putting their rainbow tower on top of the table, I really don't get it. A friend's uncle even has a case the height of a table, like bro... Is there no end to this?
I used to have a cheap mechanical keyboard that has side rainbow RGB panels that can't be turned off. I thought that would be turned off when I turn off the backlight. Nope.
