It sounds like a terrible idea, at least in the very serious in-fiction context of saving the world from enslavement to evil....
Almost three years ago now, I wrote about my love for pink peripherals. I still stand by that: The Razer Quartz Huntsman V2 TKL, Blackshark V2 X headset are still my go-to accessories on my desk, while the Barracuda wireless headset comes with me every time I leave the house.
