    It’s easy. You cut down the quality of your products rapidly and start being recommended against by the people that used to buy your products.

    Corsair used to be good. I enjoyed their products. However, their quality has plummeted over the past few years, and their iCue software is absolutely terrible. It will routinely crash, and completely lock up my keyboard and mouse.

      I’ve used a couple of their cases recently (4000 and 5000 series) and was pretty happy with them, they’re high quality and nice to build with. That said, iCue is trash, I just couldn’t care less about RGB.

        I haven’t built a desktop system for a few years. Last year, went to do so and discovered that virtually all parts from all vendors had RGB LEDs on the same things. I don’t mean case exteriors, but motherboards, DIMMs, etc. I dunno if it’s just Corsair.

          It’s not just Corsair, you actually would be somewhat hard pressed to build a PC without some kind of disco lights included these days.
