Love the green keyboard backlight, good choice! Now you can watch all the amazing videos we post here!

Itā€™s actually on a color spectrum. I can make it rainbow if I want :slight_smile:

I even have an external keyboard that I set up to have the different lighting zones flicker based off of the audio I play (I basically turned it into an audio visualizer)!

Anyways.

In other news, Iā€™m dying from statistics :sob:

Congratulations

now you will clean it for the first 30 days every day and take care of it carefully :smile:

on my optical-mechanical keyboard
I can choose the color for each desired key, so I arranged how it suits me best and saved it in 6 settings depending on the mood

there are those disco things too - but it annoys and deconcentrates me, so I keep it off

What! I get white or nothing :unamused:

My external keyboard only has zones, but my laptop is cherry mx and is per-key.

I did that with my keyboard (every week), and I still do (~1 year later)!

I carry my laptop in a backpack, so I hope the paint doesnā€™t flake off :sob:

even white is good compared to nothing
especially if you often work at night and in the dark
so be happy :slightly_smiling_face:

My school chromebook has no backlight.

And hey, I actually got used to typing with it in the dark!

itā€™s easy when display is close and it lights up the keyboard

I think RGB keyboards are most useful when playing some games
so you put a certain color on a certain key and you already know what to press when you need to

this mine also supports macro, etc.
so you can add ā€œa program codeā€ to any key
and make it easier for you to write some HTML, JS, etc. ( automate everything)

Nice

Both my keyboards have macro, but the external only has function keys (so Iā€™d have to be careful not to assign a macro to a function key/hotkey configuration that already has a purpose).

How so? Can you make it so it types (boilerplate) code for you?

My macros AFAIK only support typing and clicking sequences, but that might very well be enough. Still, I donā€™t (think I) need macros for coding because I rely on my (somewhat, actually pretty average for the coding/gaming community) fast typing skills.

it has a REC button on it as well as via software
and then whatever you type is recorded until you press stop.

I donā€™t use it too much because itā€™s faster for me to make copy paste
rather than trying to remember where what was assigned to which key

It is more useful to someone who plays games
so pressing one key can do a bunch of e.g. some combos or more during a fight

and you better not do it
because those things especially the software behind it is often not tested enough
so it can happen that the PC will not boot
because the keyboard gives it silly inputs or series of letters instead of one
so the BIOS thinks itā€™s a hardware error and doesnā€™t want to continue ,
but well, thatā€™s probably a more common case with some cheaper variants.

we rely more on code completion here Ctrl + Space

there are fewer mistakes that way

Ctrl + space completes code?

In what?
