Introducing the backlit keyboard
A backlit keyboard is a keyboard in which the character part of the key emits light using an LED. Such a keyboard is not so rare these days. On the contrary, it is popular among gamers. In addition, it has various features such as backlight adjustment. The backlight shines in 7 different colors.
In addition, you can switch to breathing mode with the keyboard, and you can also adjust the brightness. The typing feel is similar to that of a high-end key called a mechanical keyboard. Its ability to support simultaneous pressing of up to 26 keys makes it suitable for playing games such as FPS.
In addition, there are specifications such as waterproof function and anti-slip function by rubber pad. These cannot be considered very cheap.
In fact, most models use a USB port to connect to the desktop computer or laptop . They have two kickstands on the back, one inch (2.54 cm) to tilt the keyboard.
Overview of the benefits of the backlit keyboard
These advantages are:
Personalization
The backlit keyboard , even if purchased by brand, finds the advantage that with RGB lighting. Thus, you can create a style similar to yours. In addition, if you have software, you can create your own original lighting combinations.
Let's take customization software as an example. This type of setting can be created with software, as it involves not only color effects, but also custom key settings. Some examples can be found on models from Razer, Corsair, or Cooler Master.

The keyboard can be purchased for as little as $15. However, keyboards tend to come with add-ons that increase their price. This isn't necessarily a bad thing: the quality and finish of its components are generally better, as is the variety in the catalog. On the other hand, it's impossible not to find a backlit keyboard you're looking for.
Furthermore, the buttons on such a keyboard are easy to find. What's more, if we just need to look down at any time, we'll find the desired character. The same thing can happen during the day by calibrating the backlight intensity.
Additionally, it has a membrane or mechanical format: 100%, TKL or 60%. It has RGB lighting switch types. In addition, its macro software prevents ghosting, both on the key switch and on NKRO.

Characters that never disappear. Something that could happen to all of us is that our soul keyboard is so fragmented that the A, W, S, and D keys are about to disappear completely.
Sometimes, the Enter arrow will disappear halfway through Thanos's clicks. This will never happen on our keyboard, because the color and intensity we perceive depend on the backlight. Let's take, for example, backlighting in daylight.
In fact, the symbols are created using a double-mold process. There is a lower mold with a base color (usually white so as not to alter the highlighting effects). In addition, there is an upper mold that fixes it. Of all the printing methods, this is the most expensive, but also the highest quality and most durable.
No sticky touches
Sometimes it's unavoidable, and you probably already know what I'm talking about. The natural oils in our skin and fingers act as a natural solvent that makes the characters disappear from the keyboard. This solvent can also erode the surface of the keys themselves.
