Everything looks great in black? Poppycock! Nothing beats a modern white aesthetic? Balderdash! Life is better in full colour and your gaming setup is too. RGB lighting isn’t the only way you can add a splash of colour though. That’s why we’ve scoured the Overclockers UK website to find these gorgeous colourful gaming peripherals just for you.
Better Off Red
If PC gaming had its own trinity of primary colours, its members would be black, white, and red. That being said, a little bit of the classic crimson still goes a long way to making your setup stand out in the monochromatic sea. We’ve even covered how you can make it your main colourway without breaking the bank. But for today, we’re looking at how you can easily sprinkle some red in.
To start off, we’ve got a gaming mouse straight out of the Glorious Forge. The exceptional Model O PRO Wireless has been reimagined in three magnificent colours, including the understated beauty of Red Fox.
Far from the bright blood reds most might favour, this pastel shade adds a more subtle touch to your setup. A bit of colourful class if you will.
Now if you are a lover of deep edgelord red and stylish accents, then do we have a gaming keyboard for you. The Ducky One2 Pro Mini features a vibrant red enter key, as well as extra red keycaps you can swap in as you please. What’s more, it comes with Cherry MX Red Switches which, aside from being delightfully on theme, are brilliant for gaming.
I’m Blue Ba-Ba-Dee…
Let’s switch colours but go back to our old friend the Glorious Forge.
Remember when we said the Glorious Model O Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse got reimagined in three magnificent colours? Of course you do, it was two paragraphs ago. Well, the second of those is the delightfully dual-toned Blue Lynx. Its blend of blue and white presents an even more desirable pastel pallet to work with. It’s like a gateway peripheral for all-white setups looking to get hooked on the colour spectrum.
Next, we are once again looking at gaming keyboards. Ducky produces some of the most attractive models you will ever lay your dull mortal eyes on, and the One 3 is no exception. It comes in more colourways than coffees I drink in a day, including the divine Daybreak. Its varied shade of blues makes it an easy addition alongside any other peripherals of similar colour. Plus, the Ducky One 3 comes in more sizes than just the one shown here, meaning there’s a keyboard to fit every desk!
Completing our deep blue trifecta is our first interloper from the audio realm. The Logitech G G935 Wireless Gaming Headset brings a lot to the table. Advanced 50mm Pro-G drivers? Check. Microphone with lift-to-mute boom arm? You got it champ. Low latency wireless connectivity? Absolutely. But it also brings two colours for the price of one, accenting a black canvas with light blue RGB lighting. Of course, you can configure the lighting to be any colour you want, with dynamic in-game reactions too.
They Call You Mellow Yellow
All good things come in threes. Primary colours for instance, and we have one of those left to cover.
What else comes in threes? You guessed it (and we also said it earlier) – the Glorious Model O Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse! Completing the set of Glorious Forge reimagining’s is the Golden Panda. Next to his pastel toned brothers, the black and yellow colours of this little bear is bold, shining, and brilliant to behold on any gaming setup.
Next, we’re once again throwing it back, this time to the Ducky One 3. Don’t be surprised – we told you this gaming keyboard came in more colours and sizes than we cared to count – including special gaming editions! The boldest of the bunch has to be the Ducky x Fallout One 3, however. The iconic blend of Vault-Tec blues and yellows is too striking to be ignored. Just imagine how it must look with all that RGB backlighting on!
Go Green
As a wise frog once said, it ain’t easy being green. Which is why we’ve only got one peripheral snuck into this enviable tone, but we made sure it was a good one for you.
The Razer BlackShark V2 is a gaming headset that stands out thanks to its stark lime green colour, but has plenty of bang beneath that. High-end audio performance 50mm drivers, a hyper-clear cardioid microphone, and advanced passive noise cancellation are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this multi-platform wired headset.
Pink is the New Black
I don’t care if it’s not Wednesday, we’re wearing pink and lots of it.
We’ve got a veritable garden of rosy gaming peripherals for you to decorate your desk with, starting from another appearance by a Glorious Model O Gaming Mouse This Odin model comes in a gorgeous Matte Pink with pitch-perfect white accents to compliment the lead colour.
The Ducky One 3 delivers again, with its Gossamer Pink Edition. This TKL mechanical keyboard sports a gorgeous array of pink keycaps, from cotton candy to hot pink! Omitting the numpad, this keyboard saves on space without sacrificing functionality. The perfect blend of form and function!
If you’re more about that subtle touch of pink, the Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma Pink Quartz Mouse Mat is for you. The mat itself is a soft grey, forming a micro-textured surface that is, balanced speed and control. You’ll find the pink on the electronic hub and wiring. With RGB lighting lining the edge of the mat, you can extend the blush pink to ring your entire gaming surface!
Pastel lovers, our very own Ruth has a stunning office set up in pink and white shades. Complete with Ghibli plushies and a crocheted Junimo!
I Can Spell a Rainbow
Last, but certainly no means least, we have something to suit whatever colour you prefer. We’ve mentioned the Glorious Model O Gaming Mouse once or twice through this blog (hush you), but what if none of the colours grabbed you? Or is there an option for those who already own a Glorious mouse they’re not ready to part with? The answer to both is yes – the Glorious Ascended Cable V2 is the way to add some extra colour to your existing Model O Gaming Mouse! With seven spectacular shades to choose from, there’s no excuse for you not to add even a little bit of colour into the monochromatic that is your gaming setup.
