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.

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

Me, a 41 year old: …but why?

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
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
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.
I need all the resources in the world so if I ever end up with a better desktop I can run such obviously resource intensive games such as Dungeon Clawler at maximum efficiency.
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.
Same for Wooting. You can also configure it through a web-app
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.
