If you intend to mount a gaming desk, adding RGB LED strips will give it a distinctive and personalized touch, and also if you place them in strategic places in addition to giving it a better aesthetic, they will serve you to be able to do without even lamps or other lighting systems. So, in this article we are going to recommend the best RGB LED strips so you can light up your gaming desk easily and quickly.
There is one thing that you should keep in mind: when we talk about RGB LED strips we can find a thousand different models, and quite cheap, but in reality these are not usually RGB but only of certain colors and certain effects, with a remote control ( Normally) but you can hardly “match” the tone with the RGB lighting of your PC, and let’s not talk about synchronizing. On the other hand, if what you are looking for is the best, you have dedicated PC gaming systems that, although much more expensive, will give you the best effect.
In this article we are going to recommend you systems of these seconds, which are more expensive but the results have nothing to do, although also a more generic model in case you do not want to spend too much money.
Corsair Lighting Node Pro
If you have a PC with Corsair peripherals or hardware, you most likely know the iCUE software, which is used to control and configure all the brand’s hardware. These RGB LED strips that we propose work precisely with iCUE, and it consists of several parts: on the one hand the Lighting Node Pro controller that will serve as an “intermediary” between the PC and the LED strips themselves, and then these themselves. In addition, it has expansion kits to add even more LED strips and thus adjust to the space needs you have on your desk (it also includes lighting extenders so that it starts right where you want).
In addition, these Corsair RGB LED strips have an advantage and that is that in addition to having magnets to be able to anchor to any metal surface without problems, they also have an adhesive strip, so you can put them inside the PC, on the table, behind from the monitor or wherever you want.
NZXT HUE 2
NXZT also has its own lighting system with RGB LED strips, configurable with its NZXT CAM software. It works similarly to those of Corsair that we have seen before but in this case they are designed to be placed on the back of a monitor, although it is true that without any problem you can use them to also illuminate your gaming table.
In addition, like the previous one, we have a kit that includes the controller and several strips, and then separate expansion kits to add more units.
DeepCool RGB350
Again we are dealing with some RGB LED strips that are initially designed for PC, but which of course can be taken outside to decorate the table using an included extender. In this case DeepCool does not have its own software to configure this lighting, but it is compatible with all RGB software on motherboards, so you can configure colors and effects without any problem. Like the others, you have the controller and then expansion kits with more strips.
TASMOR RGB 5050
In addition to the “integrated” systems that we have talked about so far, we are also going to recommend these generic RGB LED strips for several reasons: the first is because they have a length of 10 meters, so you can decorate practically anything you want with light without the slightest problem, since you can also cut them to adapt them to the dimensions you want.
The second reason is that in addition to having a remote control, they have a built-in microphone that allows you to adapt the lighting to the ambient sound (for example if you are playing music, they will light up to the rhythm of it).
