White gaming setups look clean and bright, and photograph well. Almost every type of component now comes in white, but matching shades across brands takes some planning.

The PC

• Case: many popular cases come in white, such as the Corsair 4000D Airflow white.
• Components: white motherboards, GPUs, coolers, RAM and fans are available. Check that “white” is a similar shade across brands, as they vary from cool to warm white.

Peripherals

• Mouse: many esports mice have white versions, such as the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 white.
• Keyboard: white keyboards, such as the Keychron white mechanical keyboard, are easy to find. White keycaps can yellow or show dirt over time; PBT keycaps resist it better.
• Headset: many headsets come in white versions.

The desk

A white desk or a light wood desk with a white desk mat ties the setup together. White monitor arms and cable sleeves keep the look consistent.

Keeping it clean

• White shows dust and grime. Wipe surfaces regularly.
• Hide cables in white sleeves or raceways.
• Wash white desk mats more often.

Lighting

Cool white or soft colored lighting suits a white setup. Too many colors can look busy against white.

Bottom line

Plan the shades of white across brands, choose PBT keycaps, and expect to clean more often.
