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

    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

      The problem is that each part manufacturer wants you to install their shitty RGB control software that is often bizarrely resource-hogging, and sometimes even used for data gathering.

      On laptops, some RGB control software can eat your battery away by a fair bit because the CPU never goes into a lower power state.

      RBG should A) all conform to a standardised open API, and B) be off by default.
