    Gaming? no. However, if the colour can be set it would make it much easier for people who continually have to remove and replace cables. IE if you have say 6 monitors in an array it would make troubleshooting much easier if the cables were all colour coded. Not that you couldn't do that without labels but yeah, I can see some non gaming uses for such a technology.

    That would be super useful to light up all the insides of my cable wrapping.

    Colour-coded cables are the only reason I can see for this. Especially as most people try to hide cables.
    That said, I don't need RGB for colour-coded cables. A glowing cable coming out of the back of my TV would be an eyesore.

    If you want colour-coded cables, I can think of many better and cheaper ways to achieve it than buying a $100 RGB cable...

    Was I the only one that got the sense the writer of the article was more excited about the cable including a optical converter allowing for greater cable lengths? Man I wish the TOSLINK idea had caught on and expanded into video cables. We could have the tiniest cables every.
