I want to believe there is a god of RGB, some unknown deity yet to be named.
Like all gods, this one needs an altara place to pray and seek deliverance.
I tried my best to create one using Razers collection of Aether lighting in my office setup.

Despite that, I dont think any RGB god would appreciate my attempt.
There are lights everywhere, feeling secretive and exclusive.
I dont know about you, but Ive never seen an example of these gamer dens in real life.

Razer offered Gizmodo the full suite of lighting tech for review.
Some of these products will get their own full reviews.
Ignoring how each product actually performs, I was intrigued more by pure aesthetics.

Theres theAether Light Strip,Aether Monitor Light Bar, theAether Lamp Pro, andmy personal favoritetheFirefly V2 Promousepad.
I shouldnt feel too bad.
Those gamer room promo pictures always bear little semblance to reality.

Theres never a cable in sight.
The shelves are immaculate.
Other than that, all of Razers lights are easy to operate.

If youre looking at that green RGB lamp with envy, first consider the expense.
Thats not even counting for the RGB goodness of the $300 Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro.
Then again, its not much bigger than my personal space in my Brooklyn two-bedroom apartment.

It takes a lot of work getting your space to glow.
As evidenced by my efforts, the altar of RGB demands sacrifice.
