The absurdity extends to keyboards as well. To get a moderately priced clicky keyboard with the type of switches and layout I was looking for, the damn thing has absurd levels of animated RGB ground effects that make it look like a party bus by default. (Patriot V765 with Kailh Box switches) I regret spending good money on a Mechanical V3 ASDF keyboard because it doesn't work very well, isn't comfortable, the quality is low, and after-sales support was nonexistent. I'm tempted to drag a Northgate keyboard with ALPS switches out of storage and adapt it to USB.
- RoyalHenOil 2y agoThis is why I ended up with a Leopold keyboard. I absolutely did not want any lights on my keyboard (I've had issues in the past with lights turning themselves back on, plus I don't want to pay for features I won't use), and this was the best-quality light-free option I could find, albeit at the cost of customizability. Thankfully I've been very pleased with it and wouldn't change it if I could.
- gorkish 2y agoNot to mention that putting 300+ individual leds in the thing takes a ton of power. I got a corsair keyboard once figuring I could just use it like normal without the LED's.... nope. Have to scrounge up 2 high power USB ports just to plug the thing in because the LED's come on by default? No thank you.
