Sometimes I wonder what the thought process behind the gaming aesthetic was. RGB (*if tunable) itself is fine and adds a nice opportunity for personalization, but are those tacky fonts, crystal-facet enclosures, and overall showiness just tasteless or do any gamers actually prefer that look?

I think it is all childish, really. Like it is cool for 5 seconds but then you realize it's something you can't just deal with on a regular basis. I know everything that is advertised as 'GAMING' or 'GAMER' is just superfluous and scamming.

I've been okay with unassuming, basic-ass accessories and computers. As long as they do what I paid a lot of money for them to do.
