Right?
My keyboard came with RGB. I don’t care for it but I let it light up if any kind of lock is engaged and it glows a low red colour beneath the keys that I click.
That’s the only step I go beyond you. And the only reason I did it was because no lights at all for the keyboard meant cycling through every possible setting.
My computer is a machine. Its beauty is in its functionality. Being able to look at it and know what it’s doing is important.
- rconti 3y agowhat do you mean by "any kind of lock"? All I can think of in this context is caps lock. Or scroll lock, may it rest in peace.
- Affric 3y agoAh don’t forget num lock. Once every 2 years I gotta do data entry with something that can’t be OCR’d for whatever reason and I need those keys.
- Terr_ 3y ago> I gotta do data entry with something that can’t be OCR’d for whatever reason I regularly use the numpad, often in the context of a throwaway spreadsheet where I'm doing some napkin-math. (Or sometimes a tiny Python script, depending on what needs modeling.) Not true "data entry' in the "finish these X pages" sense, I guess.
- xp84 3y agoWait, what's the use case in the modern day for NumLock off? Given all the keys the numpad becomes then, are duplicated as real keys just to the left anyway. NumLock toggling is the most quirky IBM PC hangover in my humble opinion.

- mehlmao 3y agoI always felt that RGB was useless but after installing OpenRGB it's growing on me. My keyboard now lightly glows with a color indicating CPU temperature. I'm able to turn the whole board into a hard drive light.
