Old setup (only found 1 picture, used to be a chinese mouse and an office keyboard): Specs: (computer) Intel i3 4130 (integrated graphics) 4GB ram ddr3, later upped to 12GB around 700GB of HDD storage. Keyboard: Razer Cynosa Chroma Mouse: Razer Mamba Elite (used to be some office, upped to some chinese one, then this) Headset: NUBWO something. Mousepad: Traditional Arab cloth. Monitor: Philips 24 inch monitor (don't remember exactly what model) New setup: Specs: (computer) Ryzen 5 3600 Geforce GTX 1660 Super 16GB DDR4 ram @ 3200 500GB SSD storage and my old 350GB hard drive Keyboard: Razer Huntsman Elite Mouse: Razer Mamba Elite Headset: NUBWO something. Planning to upgrade to Razer Kraken Mousepad: Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma Monitor(s): Same old one, but just 2 hours ago I've bought a Samsung CR50 27' curved monitor. I still have the old monitor, but currently can't do some dual monitor action because I only have 1 HDMI port in my graphics card. Will buy a DP to HDMI so I can multi task efficiently™.

Why have all the useless lights that don't add to the quality of the product? At the end of the day, it's still plastic manufactured in some slave market which will break in a few months. A recommended investment is an old IBM Model M from the 80s which still works better than any keyboard currently on the market, hell even an IBM mouse from then works well.

The RGB has practical functions too, such as changing the colors of certain keys depending on various in-game stats. It's particularly useful for simulation games. In Euro Truck Sim 2, you can turn on a blinker and it will make the key bound to it change colors in sync to the blinker.

I'll take the keyboard not made from Taiwanese plastic that won't break after 2 minutes.

It's not wow factor by any means, people who are remotely interested in builds or gaming or anything either likely already have the same sort of build and won't care, will not care at all, or will be like me and be put off by it, and people who aren't remotely interested will probably feign fake interest over it except they aren't remotely interest as I said so they won't care. I wasn't calling the lights Taiwanese plastic, although they certainly aren't impressive, the peripherals themselves are trash plastic mechanisms designed with absolutely zero craftsmanship by workers across the world that are making starvation wages. Now you go and compare that to an IBM Model M, you 1. won't see it break or malfunction in however long those crappy mechanisms hold 2. won't have the blinding RGB lights that strain your eyes at night and prevent you from getting any sleep when you have lights in your room 3. won't be ugly because of the nice beige which doesn't highlight every little hair present on the keyboard and also has some class 4. has real American craftsmanship and a beautiful mechanism which appropriately clicks when you press it exactly how it should with no malfunctions 5. will actually be unique & creative unlike all the RGB builds everybody "just has to have." Also, there is no such thing as a "high end keyboard". You see an RGB keyboard on sale for $30, you see one for $100. The difference between them? Who cares, it's the same pile of junk, hell I think the cheaper ones may even break less than the expensive ones. People that are unironically invested in how "cool" their rig looks and buy the expensive peripherals are just falling into the worst trap of consumerism, doing exactly what the companies promoting wage slavery overseas want you to do, brainlessly wasting valuable cash on nothing. You can't even attribute the peripherals breaking to just "they're made overseas", products made overseas can be of the highest quality, ever think that maybe the companies just want you to buy more products? Is it unreasonable for a company to do exactly what the economy requires them to do in order to manipulate supply & demand to yield themselves higher dividends? It's so bizarre the lengths at which people will go to in order to fall into every little consumerist trap that's set forth and defend it to no end. Nobody cares about real craftsmanship, it's all about "looking cool" by doing the exact same thing everybody else is doing, with no regard for the consequences in having an economy which thrives upon such a thing.
