Do you find RGB lights annoying?
I personally dislike RGB, it gets very distracting when i'm playing games or watching videos. Since my PC is ontop of my desk on the right side of my monitor, my right eye burns like crazy forcing me to cover it with a towel.

At first I thought RGB made my computer really awesome looking but now I am totally regretting that decision. Same goes for my keyboard and mouse.

Just about anything "gamer" is annoying
a bit of RGB lights is nice but too much is terrible.

To each their own. I love it, but I know many people who dislike.

I have tons of Philips Hue lighting all around my room, lamps, on shelves, LED strips around the edge of furniture etc... so the RGB from my PC and KB + M blends in really well with it.

It only gets annoying for me if it's a changing pattern, like a rainbow wave, or pulsing flashes. If it's just a solid colour then it's fine with me.

Every computer I've ever seen that has RGB lighting has some type control over it...

As long as it's not seizureworthy or obnoxious, I don't care too much. I just like a nice gentle blue. Because I'm boring. Goes with the territory.

Yeah even if its static and not pulsing it still burns my eyes.

It can if it can dispense some booze.

I don't find it annoying, but I do find it overly played out.

If I were to buy parts to build a high-performance PC for instance, then the only things I'd be able to find are "EPIC GAMER BRAND PRODUCTS™", where everything from the keyboard, mouse, PC tower, motherboard, GPU card, RAM sticks, and PSU all have these obligatory LED strips everywhere, because "gamer" apparently means "light show", I guess.

People obviously like it. It's not like companies are putting them there to piss people off, they put them there to further entice people into purchase

besides, most have some way or another to turn it off if you don't like it

Yes, I'm aware.

I'm alright with it. My PC has custom RGB lights but most of the time I leave it off, or I just leave it a solid red, because that way it matches with everything else inside.
