Who the hell wants RGB speaker lights off to the sides of their monitor? I'm one of those people that places the satellite speakers to the left & right sides of the monitor, so it would be more distracting than anything having RGB lights of any color or setting located there. My case & fan lighting are set to static colors, and the RAM, keyboard, and mouse lighting gradually change colors slowly so as not to be distracting. Basically, no RGB lighting pointing into my face.

Thank goodness there are companies still making pc speakers and not catering to headset users or just using lame ass sound bars.

I can only use headset for voice comm, not game sound.
Get a set of Audioengine A2s or anything from Creative and they'll be miles and miles better than this, and utterly devoid of RGB too. Plenty of PC speaker options out there.

The same people who like RGB lighting on the front of their monitors, keyboards, and mice?

I am not one of those people, but clearly they exist as it's practically all you can buy these days without going for budget office-focused peripherals.

They must be "daywalkers" that like a bright room who occasionally darken it to snap a few pics & show off their RGB over-saturated gaming rig. It becomes more of an art piece and less in practicality/functionality.
When I first started the venture of putting together a work/gaming area, I was planning on going the full monty with RGB lighting under & around the sides/back edges of the desk using a Ryzen color scheme with matching carpet, but in the end, I was just happy with the rig itself and settled for RGB on the case fans, RAM, keyboard, and mouse. Given how I prefer low environment lighting when using a computer, it would've been a waste since I would've had most of it turned off the majority of the time when using the system.
