    RGB. Please. Finding hardware that doesn’t light up like a Christmas tree is harder than it should be. Even a simple power LED can light up an entire room.

      I don’t really mind RGB, but my complaint is why every single LED has to be vivid electric blue. I want old red LEDs back, they were nice, they didn’t scorch my retinas.

        Agreed. My PC case came with a blue power light, after one night of watching the blinking illuminate my entire room I ripped it out and swapped in a dim red one myself.

        For a quick fix, you can make blue power LEDs slightly more tolerable by sticking a piece of yellow post-it note on top of them, it turns them white.

        I have RGB keyboard and mouse because they were cheap. I only use red leds and it feels great. Modern but not annoying.

      Not anytime soon. Way too cheap to include(like cents for a mouse or ram and a few dollars for a keyboard) , and way too popular not to include. Well at least you can disable it.
