    Honestly, I really hate glowing keyboards I go out of my way to avoid them. Same with fans and cases with a LED lightshow built in.

    The problem is that it’s so hard to find components that constantly don’t glow all the time. Even my computer has a LED fan in it, because it was all I could find for cheap. Fortunately it’s a old “metal box” type case so except for a vent on the side the glow is almost unnoticeable… but occasionally when the rooms dark I’ll see the slight glow seeping out and get annoyed all over again that a tiny fraction of the power my PC is using is for lighting up a closed box.

      Im the opposite. Rgb keyboards are the only rgb components I actually like as it can actually serve a function.

      An rgb keyboard with good programming software is invaluable. Being able to color code your keys based on game/function is great.

    Build your own, then instead of a 150 dollar keyboard you can have a 350 dollar keyboard that also has lights.

    Seriously? Y’all are buying steel series? Oof.

    Keychron offers superior keyboards for a 4th of the cost.

      Keychron seems really nice, but it’s about $80 more for the +numpad Keyboard I bought from Steelseries on sale 4 years ago. That said I would have loved to customized my keyboard to the extent they do.
