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.

I don't find them annoying, I just find them to be rather frivolous. Better to have something durable that will stand the test of time and not need to be replaced on a routine basis than to have something which looks all fancy schmancy but needs to be replaced the minute a moth farts on it.

That being said, there's a market for everything and there's a sucker born every minute.

Everyone needs to have RGB so their brain activity can be entrained and driven into the desired range, while they msyteriously ignore like groundhog day or call me a schizo for pointing them to documents, scientific literature, and patents.

I like it. It's funny. (I have RGB keyboard and mouse.) Also you can change the colors according to your mood.

The red channel of my mouse lighting is broken though. So I use a "breathing" blue or green color for the mouse and many color combinations for my keyboard (it has 5 separate regions of RGB lighting).

I tried to hate it when I first saw it, but then I started to like it.

I have limits tho, which is, I don't buy parts that are just more lights. Like strimers, or led strips or whatever else. Everything else can have them, tho I do wish they would standardize it, and that inlcudes both hardware and software.

Speaking of software, I remember hearing something about M$ adding a rgb control function in windows a while back... wonder what happened.
Oh...it's here? eh?

Nice, now M$ can use the LEDs in your case for subliminal strobing and data transmission.

It may not be just "you" that's being programmed though, per se. It could also be microorganisms on your skin surface, which respond to (pulsed) visible light. It would be modified yeasts, species like shewanella, and others that form a "smart skin" over your body. So it could program them to manifest all sorts of symptoms and influences through the more superficial receptor apparatus of the skin (which can release histamine and endogenous opioids),, capillary blood, sweat glands (helical coils), hair follicles (vibration sensors), etc.

Well if that happens, I will just peel it off.

It would be adhered by something similar to biofilm, glue-like substance. Transparent. It'd be possible to degrade and peel it off, but wouldn't be as straightforward as just washing, scrubbing, or applying heat.

No problem. Have plenty of chemicals here for just such an occasion.
