white setup

[Recomplete]

so im upgrading my setup pretty much my whole room is done but my setup. going to get an oak wood desk which ill be drilling into the wall with 2 curved 27" monitors on them and a big 55" tv above that mounted on the wall. my pc will be going on the desk along with my xbox one. my pc case is white and im looking for peripherals but idk what to get. seeing as though all my products are corsair, i like the idea of linking the rgb with icue.

what can i ask for christmas? need a new mouse, keyboard, extended mouse mat, headset and yeah pretty much all ive got to ask for. or anything that will make my desk look amazing.

can be from led signs to stuff that just sits on my desk and makes it look cool. please link stuff in the comments. much appreciated.

I don't know if this has a use to you, but as I do audio engineering on the side I have foam panels, which compliment my RGB strip lights. If you use strip lights naked on the wall then you get the LED effect which looks ugly due to being able to see the chips embedded on the strip.

So you may want to get some foam panels to cover the RGB so you have a nice look. If you know how I mean of course.

If you really need the Corsair gear go with these: Headset Mouse Keyboard

But IMO Corsair doesn't have the best mice and headsets. I'd go with these if you can manage without the RGB, iCue: Headset Mouse and the Corsair Keyboard is pretty good.

mine is kind of ugly, but these are what I am talking about and despite being mostly for audio uses, they're great for decoration use.

Though that's black, there are white packs available.

Never understood why people buy these that aren't a studio or something. Completely unnecessary for "gaming"

I agree, but it's a good mix to go with his RGB strip lights.

But now I have realised when I made my original comment I misread "LED lights" thinking he was after RGB strip lights, which are used a lot for gaming setups for aesthetic use. Though everytime I've used them personally I've had the unpleasant experience of always being able to see the chips.

Hence the acoustic foaming to cover it up but not to absorb the lighting.

You think you could show me a picture of what yours look like and where to put the rgb strips etc? i dont quite get where to put them

this is my own. excuse the mess lol

I don't usually have it on this bright. It's just to show that the LED chips are not visible behind the foam and compliments it well.

If you do decide to do this, take your time with the foam. Mine is all over the place. If you remove it you may damage the foam itself so once it is on it is on. But this does me so I'm happy with it.
