For personalized style and individuality, it is possible for gamers to match their unique style with interchangeable magnetic detachable faceplates and customize the stick caps effortlessly to keep the gaming setup fresh and exhilarating.

Why do you always feel the need to talk shit about anything "gaming" branded?

Why do you always feel the need to talk shit about anything "gaming" branded?
A) Because I can....and I am just as entitled to my opinions as anyone else is :)
B) Because alot of it is over-hyped, over-priced crap that is really no better in any meaningful way when compared to the "non-gamr" stuff of the same variety
C) Because alot of it is merely the same ole same same stuff, rehashed with some rainbow circus puke and/or other mostly useless "features" added in....
D) Most of it is called gamr this or that merely for the sake of making gamrs think they must buy it because they will be getting something special, which in most cases they are not...

Granted, the above does NOT apply to every single thing tagged as gamr.xxx, however, having raised 2 younins that were OCD with gammin (thank goodness that phase is long gone), I feel no remorse at all in mocking the stuff, based on my experiences and observations of seeing them get all excited about something they saw somewhere, buying it for them, but then see them get bored with it in a few days/weeks because they realized it wasn't actually anything special, except that it was more expensive than necessary :D
