Came up with this late at night. Not while being anywhere near a laptop though.

      Most RGB peripherals I’ve owned I was able to toggle completely off.

      I’m also not an RGB enjoyer, I usually just set it all to the same static color, on the lowest dimness.

        Yes, you can turn them all off…

        …if you install 3 different resource-hogging, data-harvesting RGB lighting control programs on your PC and have them run at startup.

        I’m not that pissed off about RGB. But it should be off by default.

        White by default would be ok in theory, but in reality they all vary in brightness and colour temperature, so that looks jarring too.

        E: lmao ok people, simp for the corporations

      I don’t need rainbow rgb, but a nice, dim, through key white backlight is very valuable on a laptop that’s used regularly

      Thats silly too. Just turn off the rgb feature. I built a new pc last year, it has plenty of parts that could do the disco lighting but I turned it off on most of them, and opted for a static white glow on the keyboard. Completely fine this way

      Ditto. Unfortunately the grown up stuff is either worse quality business class hardware or ridiculously expensive boutique stuff. If you’re just looking for a case though, Phanteks makes great, mature builds

        Is “business class” just a simile here? Because normally, the hardware sold to businesses is of a better quality (albeit also expensive).

          Maybe I’m just making a wrong differentiation between what I’d call business class and what I’d call enterprise class. In my comment, I was specifically picturing those garbage soft click keyboards that ship with Dell, HP, etc. Desktops

            Ah right, yeah, those are crap. I really don’t get why companies are willing to cheap out specifically with keyboards.
            Like, it’s the tool your workers use all day. Even if they just type 5% faster on a proper keyboard, that pays for itself in no time.
