T3 selects: RGB PC peripherals

Distract yourself with pretty lig hts

Creative Sound BlasterX Vanguard K08

Creative’s Aurora Reactive system synchronises illumination between its Kratos speakers, Siege mouse, and this confusingly Sound-Blaster-branded keyboard. It’s clacky, heavy, and every key can be a different pulsating colour. £159.99, creative.com

Razer Firefly

There are tens of devices compatible with Razer’s wellestablished Chroma RGB system, but this is by far the oddest. It’s a mouse pad, available in ‘hard’ or cloth variety (shown) , which projects colour onto your desk. £59.99, razerzone.com

Asus Gladius II

Asus’ Aura Sync protocol is made for big PC enthusiasts – it’ll work everywhere from your motherboard to your graphics card and beyond. This RGB mouse, while rather expensive, is a great bit of engineering, with replaceable microswitches for a different feel. £85, asus.com
