I got this mainly because I could customize the backlight more than in almost any other keyboards in this range. The rainbow pattern which is common in this category hurts my eyes in the dark. I can set a single color which I find much more soothing. Even some of the multicolor themes are good as the light is not harsh.

The keys are big upgrade coming from a membrane keyboard. Been using for only a week now but love the feeling. So far so good and I hope it lasts for I don’t want to spend over a double on Logitech etc.

EDIT: I read somewhere that individual key backlight cannot be customized in this keyboard. That’s what I thought too since I could not find any mention in the manual. However tinkering with the software I discovered that it can be done. Though it is not very intuitive, once you learn it it is simple enough. It is in the Light -> Gaming Mode section where five gaming backlight modes are given. In each of the five modes individual key backlight can be modified. Attaching two images of custom themes I created this way. The light is more soothing on eyes and not so overflowing as it appears in the images, which was one of my main concerns. In fact I have customized the light to be about half as dim as the dimmest default, which suits me better.

There are three profiles, each with five gaming modes. This means you can create 15 custom themes and save them and switch with a click or two. Since this is such a cool function it’s puzzling that it has not been clearly labeled and made intuitive.
