Do I Need a Keyboard With RGB Lighting?

A: It’s an entirely different experience, I’ll tell you that. If you’ve never used a keyboard with RGB
lighting, you’re living in the dark. RGB lighting allows you to do a volley of things that your standard
keyboard just can’t keep up with, such as:

Better Nighttime Use: If you can’t keep the kitchen or office light on because it’s bothering your spouse,
then good news: you don’t have to turn it on just to see your keyboard. Leave the light off in the
common room so you don’t bother the flatmates, things of that sort. Besides that, your eyes strain
when you have a light source and the LED from your screen both flashing in your eyes, so this cuts down
on additional strain.

They’re Associated with Quality: RGB lighting isn’t exactly cheap. Companies that produce low-quality
keyboards aren’t going to bother throwing RGB lighting in, because if it breaks and it’s under warranty,
they have to adhere to said warranty. Manufacturers like SteelSeries put RGB lighting their keyboards
with the full knowledge that their superior quality build won’t be crossing through their warranty
department anytime soon. They know that a better build is better for business, and cheap brands
usually don’t touch this concept.

Tactical Use: You can set up different modes to light up specific rows (hotkeys) and add some extra light
on the WASD setup, which can be far more tactical and beneficial when you’re trying to keep your eye
on the prize, and you can’t imagine how bad it would be if your hands slipped or you pressed the wrong
keys at the wrong time.
