Do you like the "gamer" design style?

[Slayven]

You know matte black, carbon fiber, hard edges, etc. I am not a big fan. I like simple unobtrusive designs, but I always been a function over form guy

 

[SugarNoodles]

Absolutely not. If it looks like I could use it to sail the stars it's trying too hard.

 

[Deleted member 8861]

Angular shapes with brightly colored lines look all right as long as it is not overdone.

I thought you meant the GAMERS RISE UP sort of design and got a mild headache

 

[Luigi87]

I don't mind some designs, but I definitely hate the ones in the op.
IE: I like my Logitech G502 for example.

But my actual PC case is much nicer than the one pictured above.

 

[Robot With Feelings]

Hell no fugly as fuck

 

[Einchy]

I want all my gaming shit to look like evil Transformers.

 

[julia crawford]

I'm not a gamer

 

[Fulminator]

not really, prefer more subdued designs

[hydrophilic attack]

i always cringe when i see it

You mean Razer products?

 

[Deleted member 10629]

No, it looks like shit designed by a 12 year old who just discovered My Chemical Romance.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Hideous. Like what adults think 12 year old boys want.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Nah but I've warmed up to RGB LEDs. The raindrop mode on my Ducky keyboard is cute.

 

[AusGeno]

That RAT mouse is more about modular flexibility than gamer sensibility. That desktop though, *gag*...

 

[Servbot24]

No, it's horrific.

Goddamn, that could be used to described so much shit

 

[Solaris]

No, I'm not 14.

It all looks hideous. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Deleted member 15428]

Muji should sell computers

 

[Masterz1337]

Gamer gear always looks ridiculous. It's almost like it tries to be as anti-apple as possible.

 

[Post Reply]

Not at all.

 

[Froyo Love]

You know, it's the unnecessary angles and visual complexity that gets to me. If every desktop case looked like the 2001 monolith and maybe had a single ominous circular light, I'd be down with it. Instead it's all visual clutter.

Fucccck no

 

[Trickster]

I like rgb led's on my keyboard and mouse. But everything else that's part of the "gamer" school of design can go suck it. It's trashy as hell

 

[iAmPossum]

I can't even.

 

[Gaming_Groove]

No, it's silly looking. I personally like Fractal Design's cases. Minimalism FTW.

My PC, for comparison. Yes, I know my motherboard is extremely crappy, it's a prebuilt I salvaged:

 

[l2iv6]

that shit is so daggy, hell no

 

[Deleted member 2779]

Eh the RAT has its own thing going for it, that case on the other hand...

 

[Slime]

Whenever I see this stuff I picture a guy in a trenchcoat and Cyclops sunglasses sitting in a "gaming chair" with a katana at his side

 

[Apath]

[nded]

The R.A.T. mouse is fine by me since there are actual mechanical reasons for why it looks like that.

 

[SapientWolf]

Enthusiast gamer gear is required to have as many LEDs as possible.

I don't particularly care either way because it's usually a hundred times better than non gamer gear for actual gaming. They can take my Naga from my cold, dead hands.

 

[lunarworks]

At one point I may have, coming off the age of beige boxes, but now, absolutely not.

 

[Deleted member 6215]

No, avoid it at all cost.

 

[Axisofweevils]

No. I hate it. Trying too hard to be edgy.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Not really. It's busy, unrefined, lacking maturity.

 

[Stranger Things]

LOL NO

i'm basic af

i was looking for a new mouse on amazon.
saw this one for like 6-10 bucks or something.
saw one of those "transformers" looking mouses, like the one in the OP for just a few bucks more with crazy LED lights and all kinds of shit ...

i went with the amazon basics. i'm not trying to impress anybody with my fking mouse LOL.

 

[Cenauru]

Both of those mice look like they would hinder your experience rather than make it better.

I prefer sleek designs that don't get in the way of functionality. My current mouse is a Logitech G502, it looks pretty good and gets the job done. 3 different profiles, mouse wheel lock/ unlock, adjustable DPI buttons, a "hold" DPI button for when you need a different sensitivity for a brief moment (IE, sniping), and 2 thumb buttons. The looks are just icing on the cake.

 

[-PXG-]

Hate it.

 

[itwasTuesday]

That's a mechanical webshooter.

 

[Chopchop]

No. The look is almost always overdone to the point of embarrassment.

When I buy gamer gear, it's usually in spite of the look and not because of it.

I am old, i was about to ask what the PSone memory card case was for

 

[Deleted member 3925]

That looks horrible.

 

[wenis]

Not at all. Simpler and cleaner the better. I want my tech to look like it belongs in a clean room.

 

[Deleted member 40797]

It looks hideous. I don't even like the fact that my Logitech mouse has cycling LED colors, and it's pretty conservative in design.

 

[large_gourd]

it's the limp bizkit of technology design

 

[DerpHause]

Term feels too broad. There are a lot of things out there I like and a lot I don't. That said simple forms seem boring.

So I guess I lean more towards yes, I like it.

 

[emir]

Every time I see something with fucking neon lights, I puke blood. And that's usually the thing about gamer designs.
