im pretty much in the minority here with this lol.

so recently been having a brain rot when it comes to my favorite aesthetics. hence the journal beforehand asking what your favorites are. so i though "hey! why not make my desk setup have a bit of that y2k/frutiger aero thing going (all while keeping it sonic and sly cooper themed)?" and got to searching up stuff.

and.

the first thing i came by was the hyte keeb tkl. it's absolutely what i am looking for! it's rgb. it's got mechanical keys. and it has this clear round outer shell that diffuses all the rgb-ness. it's absolutely as aero as you can get with a modern keyboard. i want it for my bday next month! even get a set of custom key caps for it and stuff! (here's hoping)
so after finding this thing i found a gel wrist rest for keyboard and mouse that again just nails the aero vibe! but... after that the good findings just stopped. like dead in the tracks stopped. and everything else i found was just the same old "gamer" designs where everything is flat, boxy and triangular, pointy, jagged, sharp, transformers looking stuff.

like all the other pc peripherals i could find still stick to this look. like cases are still flat rectangular boxes. gaming mice look like they can stab your fingers if you so much as look at them wrong. and yes i know there are more plain looking gaming mice out there but they aren't what im looking for. (i do know about the water mice out there but i don't know what dpi it is and stuff. so that's up in the air) and even monitors too. like pc's parts and peripherals have been stuck in this style for way too long. or at least to me it has. i just want to see more rounded or dynamic looking stuff out there. it just feels so hard to find these days cuz all the manufacturers want everything to look the same. like i remember seeing a old samsung tv that had a clear curved shell around the bezel that was like made of glass. (could be wrong there) and it blew my mind on how nice it looked. there was even a couple mac monitors like that too. but i never seen any other tv's or monitors that looked like that. or how most pc cases are still very square these days. like i would die to have a modern pc case that looks just like the power mac g4 case. i still want that case to build a pc in but it's a very tiny case (micro atx) and requires heavy modding to be useful nowadays. or hell i'd love to get my hands on one of the old alienware cases. the ones that are basically the alien head and are y2k as fuck! like a modern version of those would be sick! i mean yeah alienware still makes unique case designs thankfully but man that last one they made is a bit on the ugly side.

i dunno. maybe this just old person yelling at clouds sort of thing going on here. but god dangit i just want some rounded looking pc peripherals to match the keyboard and stuff i found!
