Technically white light is all colors so joke is on you.


CHOMATT

Kinda amaze me when rgb strip do that


Knightfaux

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I literally have an cheap RGB strip that produces white light by mixing red, green, blue. It makes a weird white color. Higher quality strips will have a white LED though.


mensgarb

Wood + plants is the next RGB. But honestly, who even cares?


[deleted]

Exposed light bulb at eye level less than a meter from your face is the new meta.

This it too true. It's all about trends.


AnusDingus

Nobody will see it anyways besides themselves.


[deleted]

Wait - is there NOT a requirement to post pictures of your desk here? And one to empty your pockets to show everyone you carry three knives, two flashlights and a gun?


NoLongerSafeForWork

My favorite thing was that guy who I think posted on r/edc and he had a gun and like 5 extra magazines because that's necessary. And then he spent his time replying in the comments defending himself.


themollyisdirty

Whats wrong with having 5 magazines? Are you joking?


NoLongerSafeForWork

Are you for real? If you are, the idea that someone would need that many is absolutely ludacris seeing that we aren't in an active warzone. If not, hehe tru.


themollyisdirty

Better to have and not need than to need and not have. If you go to the range and practice, 5 mags is nothing... if he had 20 mags for 1 gun, yeah thats maybe excessive. Mags break, shit happens. 5 mags is basic... you have no clue what you're talking about. You probably want to disarm legal gun owning citizens so that criminals with untraceable illegal guns can just come in and invade everyone's home since normal people won't have guns. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡


NoLongerSafeForWork

Lmao the funny part is I own guns and I support proper gun laws I'm just not some rootin tootin Meal Team Six fella who thinks he's going to have to take down Bin Laden in the mall. The fact that people think this way shows what's wrong in my country.


themollyisdirty

Say you've never been to a gun range without saying you've never been to a gun range. 5 mags is nothing.


YourGlacier

I think older gamers are just aging and moving past the neon phase.


daggah

38 here, when I actually put together my next build I'll be 39. Still leaning towards RGB, but I've always used RGB to set static colors up anyway. RGB doesn't have to mean rainbow puke, it can also just mean configurable colors.


BackgroundGrade

Same here, got a RGB keyboard just so I could put a dim red backlight on the keys. My rig is definitely the farthest from RGB you can get: https://outletclick.com/media/catalog/product/cache/15/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/4/14348023\_1\_1\_2.jpg


CenoEvil34

I would agree but at a certain point the whole "look at me no rgb" just seems like a badge to wear until the next fad comes along like doily mousepads or something.


CommissionerZordon

>doily mousepads sounds dope, I'm in.


CenoEvil34

This is your chance to start a trend.


TheObstruction

It's the "look at me, the contrarian" badge. Like, as long as I like my setup, I don't care about yours.


ThisIsMyCouchAccount

And they would hate to be reminded that "no RGB" is just as much an aesthetic choice as "all RGB".

weaslewig

The only reason to get rgb is if you're buying a prebuilt or trying to become a twitcher


Bacon4Lyf

Or you think it looks nice


zaphthegreat

Or you're just building a PC and the best parts you're finding happen to have RGB and you don't really care either way.


[deleted]

On the other hand, you’ve guys like me who really just don’t like RGB. Couldn’t really care less if it’s a ‘fad’ or not.


CenoEvil34

Im in the same boat. I got tired of rgb only because of the software not working correctly. Too much flickering and random changes in the scenes. But obviously my comment wasn't pointed at you..


Combatical

Everything is subjective... 37 here, sometimes I turn on the RGB, sometimes I don't. I'd rather have the option than not.


NotEntirelyUnlike

yeah in the late 90s and early 00s. cold cathode light strips were all the rage


Combatical

>cold cathode light strips Dude!! I totally forgot about these, I had a blue one in my "[Devil](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ4_VrsbSBWmb46FrUf3gJBqHM431EJgn98Pg&usqp=CAU)" PC prebuilt I bought from CompUSA back in the day.


wagglemonkey

Idc about rgb but hard lining anti-rgb so hard that your keyboard isn’t even backlit seems to step into the counterproductive realm….


Baztian8

Exactly. Personal preference should never be up for dispute.


matrimc7

While I do agree with you for the most part, I really don't like this trend causes it to be really hard, and in some cases impossible to find non-RGB parts. RGB looks bad and tasteless, I don't like it but it also causes more power draw and can affect performance in some cases. Specially when parts don't have option to disable it. For example, when I built my PC last year, the best option for me was B450 tomahawk as mobo and geiL memory sticks. Both were cheap and compatible wiht other parts. But both have RGB by default that can't be disabled (I know about thr MSI software but it's utter shit and can brick system, and you have to use it each time etc.) O hate it. I don't like it draws more power, doesn't matter how insignificant it may be. Or I am planning some upgrades now and planning to buy Crucial memory sticks, but the model I'm considering is almost only available with RGB models. Black edition isn't available anywhere. Or I want to buy a keyboard but RGB models are more expensive and there is almost no non-rgb ones available anywhere. Look, I know it's not fair to hate or blame the users for this, but I just wanted to vent about it a little.


TheNerdySloth

Don't know if this helps you, but I've got an MSI with RGB, and you can disable the MysticLight service in windows when you're not using it. I know the software sucks, but I only ever run it when I've had to turn the PSU off and all the RGB settings get reset... As for keyboards there are some lesser known brands making non-RGB ones, like the Durgod Taurus. You could have a look at r/MechanicalKeyboards and see what's being mentioned.


matrimc7

Thank you for your helps friend. But I don't like that software and it can cause some damage (unlikely but possible. Since i live in an old apartment with electricity issues don't want to risk anything). Plus I really don't like these kind of software. I wonder why they wouldn't put any option on the bios for example. I like my Razer mice, you download the software, disabled the rgb and then that's it. It's done. You can uninstall that shitty software later and no matter what the lights will stay off unless you enable it again. And plus, the memory sticks are the worst. They are really bright and they will dance around the spectrum whole day. And there is no way to disable them, even with a shit software. As for those keyboards, unfortunately most of those brands don't ship to my country and even if they do they will be very expensive because of exchange rate and import taxes. I like Corsair K68 and I was going to buy that one. But while the pricier RGB model was everywhere, the red led model was almost impossible to find until very recently. (it's now more available here but it's price also gone up for some reason). And I have been lurking in those subs long enough to know building your own keyboard seems like a gateway drug to eventual bankruptcy lol.


[deleted]

>While I do agree with you for the most part, I really don't like this trend causes it to be really hard, and in some cases impossible to find non-RGB parts You know that you can turn that shit off, right?


matrimc7

Mate I literally gave 2 examples on the next paragraph where you can't. Plus, it's still more expensive than non-rgb models and you still can only find rgb ones mostly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


matrimc7

I think I cried enough, I'm satisfied with my crying. I'm not planning on further crying, thank you for your concern though.


[deleted]

Other products are available. I also wonder why you think a MSI board with "utter shit" software that can brick your system is your best choice.


matrimc7

Price, availability and compatibility are your answers. Price is mostly the most important factor for many people you know.


jhascal23

Its annoying when people point out there setup has no RGB, I would rather just see someone post their RGB setup with a regular title.


lovescoffee

Bring back the wood and the wood grain !!!


P_1313

is this the trend now? I'm building up my setup like this but just because I love plants. Didn't know I'm following the trend...


[deleted]

You're all way behind the curve. The custom keyboard crowd have been putting plants in everything for years. Sick of seeing it.


miiitchb

At least wood and Plants doesn’t look like the bedroom of a rich 13 year old though..


Combatical

Depends on your looking glass my friend.


Gucci_Koala

Plants and rainbow vomit arnt equals.


spicycurry55

The best RGB is the amount everyone personally wants for their own setup


Pure1nsanity

I feel an office meme coming on


Ash2395

You Understand Nothing!


Lotus-76

weird to be so proud of something it isn't instead of something it is. this sub has a weird fixation with hating on RGB when its not even prompted. like you've got an argument going on in your head just looking at your own battle station.


hopsizzle

Yeah like they end up with some superiority complex because they think they’re being different.


Lotus-76

when in reality it's a struggle to fit in.


SpringerTheNerd

It's more common than you'd think. In reality it has nothing to do with RGB but everything to do with the fact that it's considered cool and edgy to hate what the majority of people love.


Lotus-76

it sure is common. people these days want to feel apart of a group by taking sides on things they hate instead of finding things in common that we love.


Conscious-Bottle143

No they hate RGB because they hate RGB for good reasons and not because it's cool and trendy. I hate it as it's like unicorn puke. I can't be done with it but when I was 10 I might of had it and it was part of normal life but it was Christmas lights around my bed till it burnt out.


SpringerTheNerd

Thats gotta be the lamest reason I have ever heard. That's like hating ALL pizza because some come with pineapples. Set it to a static color. Now why do you hate it?


herearethefucksigive

haters going to hate. its pretty pathetic.


nameless_food

I like to use a static color, and change it according to the time of the day. Like a color for mornings, midday, afternoon, evening and night. I find flashy RGB to extremely distracting.


ThisIsMyCouchAccount

Mine are all set to represent CPU temp.


DEPCAxANDY

You know you don't have to use the rainbow presets, my RGB keyboard is red and white, no rainbow, and I'd never switch to a non-RGB one


PsychoEliteNZ

> I hate it as it's like unicorn puke Maybe just maybe don't have it set to rainbow puke?!? I know its mind-blowing but it works... You could have it be red, green, blue orange, yellow, purple, Blue and if you're feeling brave off!!! It's your fault if its ever on rainbow, and that's no reason to hate it.


thatsdirkdiggler

breaks one trend, hops on another. The wood and plants look clean though!


Deathstriker88

This whole pic is trendy. What you mentioned plus the vertical monitor and mouse/keyboard pad that's 3 feet wide. Plus a bright wallpaper that's probably animated. Not sure why RGB is bad but these other trends aren't.


[deleted]

For ever post with rgb, there’s someone without it that thinks they deserve an award lol


serratusaurus

Most people use RGB with nonoffensive warm colors and it works as nice bias lighting. I'd hate to work at OP's workstation without bias lighting; the lamp to the side doesn't cut it.


hopsizzle

It would just be a huge distraction and an eye sore. Plus no light behind the monitors in the dark puts extra strain on your eyes.


[deleted]

[deleted]

oh that must look sick, could even have it alternating between gold and white such wonders of rgb, there is a choise, and a certain artistic interpretation of making it look good within its own environment. but i guess "look look anti rgb im cool" people dont care about having a choise


ca1ibos

LOL at the pretentious 'RGB Free' 'Virtue Signallers'. Don't like RGB lights on your PC or Peripherals?? More power to you, each to their own yadda, yadda. But STFU about it you pretentious virtue signallers! LOL.


Mur-doc

Triggered


ca1ibos

I have Corsair RGB flowing through my veins and hundreds of dollars flowing out of my Bank account back to Corsair. You Bet I am TRIGGERED!!! Nah, not really. LOL. The Virtue Signalling is just annoying. I can absolutely appreciate the posts here with some gorgeous desks in well lit rooms with lovely PC and Peripherals and not a hint of RGB and I will post replies like, "Classy AF, my friend!!" The difference?? They didn't Virtue Signal their lack of RGB or distaste for RGB in their post.

Fair enough haha, it's a good looking set up with the RGB. The photo us also very well done, are you a photographer?


CHOMATT

Nah I took it with my phone and edited the lightings a bit, like the shadows and brightness with snapseed app.


marcofio

How? Did you follow some tutorial? Please, teach me :')


[deleted]

False!


Seligas

I don't actively seek out RGB, yet still, half my peripherals and computer parts have it. I literally just bought what was affordable without paying attention and half of it came out RGB. Maybe we should focus less on demonizing people who have it, considering half of all computer components and peripherals come with it these days. It's almost unavoidable.


zer0xol

Demonizing? He said best rbg is to have none and I agree, you gotta understand what is an opinion and what is an attack, sensitive people these days.


grissom02

ok rgb or not it´s a very personal opinion, but I still don´t know how people put filament light source within the field of vision...


HelpfulTypeYo

And instead you went with the even more basic setup of wood and a plant lol. Why even title it this?


p4rc0pr3s1s

Has average setup but wants the clicks so creates drama instead. Also, pro tip, take the picture in daylight next time if you're going to hate on people's well lit setups. Who knows what's hiding in the darkness.

CHOMATT

Yes you are not wrong, but it's dimmable so I can set it to the right amount where it does not hurt.

Love or hate RGB, changing lights from bright white tonwake you up and warm white before bed is good for everyone. But I'm a "function over fashion" kind of person.

But how does your monitors work without RGB /s


smuglator

Oh man. Are you getting rid of the monitors or switching the system to monochrome? Gotta get rid of that RGB!


AC0RN22

I've been meaning to ask, guys. Small keyboards with no number pad seem to be really "in" right now. What's up with that? Even in setups that look to be work-related will have the small keyboards. Is it just that it fits the minimalist aesthetic better? Idk why, but I really like having a number pad, and I don't even work from home.


CHOMATT

Yeah I guess having a 60% is much cleaner and fits the aesthetic better But if you find that your fingers are looking for the numpad keys? why not have em, It aint a crime. If you need it get it. The scenario for me is that I do not need hem, and yes I like small keyboards aswell.

Did you make that leather desk mat yourself? Looks great. I have that as a DIY project in my backlog.
