  Me: Hi, I need some high quality components, you know better than office stuff, and I’m willing to pay a premium. Company: Great, we have a huge range. And as a bonus we’ve covered EVERYTHING in LEDs! Me: Err, can I get the good mechanical switches and silent fans without LEDs? Company: Ooh, that’s a SPECIAL item! 3x the price!

  If anything, that’s just distracting from the game on the screen.

    If you have a keyboard that works with a major manufacturer’s software, some games have themed color schemes that change in-game to match the game scene you’re in.

      I’m aware of that, but it sounds even more distracting.

  Stop buying Gamer stuff when you want something better than cheap office stuff

  I bought myself an epomaker ajazz ak 820 for like 50€ (70€ with tax and import fees) a week ago and its better than any of my 150€ Gaming keyboards until now

  I think the switches are the most important part then the caps but I do wish I had soldered in the LEDs when I was building my board for home sometimes

  That’s pretty much the only thing I hate about my desktop keyboard. Absolutely not a fan of RGB lighting because it’s just wasteful and probably drains more resources than it’s worth.

    Do you have to run the keyboard’s software?

    I have a Corsair K100 and it does all the normal keyboard stuff without any software even installed on my machine. Also, the RGB lighting can run from on-device memory, which is super nice.

      I don’t think I have any of the optional software installed, I’m pretty sure, but all the keys naturally light up. I don’t remember what brand or what exact model I have, but I have the lights on the lowest setting possible so they don’t distract me.

      Same for Wooting. You can also configure it through a web-app
