    I’ve been buying computer stuff for like 30 years and never once has any of it had any weird glowing stuff like on the box

      We seem to be headed in that direction though. My most recent motherboard has built in LEDs for no practical reason other than “ooh shiny”. Took me a minute to find the UEFI setting to disable that. “Stealth mode” apparently.

      It’s also increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to find wired mice, keyboards and headsets in that ever-increasing gulf between “all singing, all dancing, expensive gaming device full of unnecessary LEDs” and “cheap, awful, bare minimum”. If it plugs in and there’s a 5v rail nearby, gotta draw on that to be shiny! Anything else would be sacrilege!

        Yeah but it’s not hovering or rotating unsupported in the air. The box said it was going to do that stuff. I’m pretty sure this doesn’t even have any weird runes on it either

      You need to be getting the radon infused versions.
