I own a Razer Cynosa V2 which is fine. But it lacks built-in memory for lighting, which bothers me because I don’t want Razer Synapse. I don’t mind keyboard RGB, but I just need the ability to turn it on when it’s dark and can’t see the keys. My old laptop had a hotkey that toggled the lights if you pressed Fn + Space. Are there any good keyboards with a similar hotkey? The Cynosa has one, but I want that functionality without having Synapse running. I’ve tried OpenRGB and SignalRGB, but neither worked. I’d prefer something that smoothly transitions from 0% to 50% or something like that. I was using Razer Synapse and had to press the hotkey for a while to reach a level where I could actually see the keys. Thanks!

I’m searching for a full-size keyboard. I’m in the United States. My main preference is Amazon, though I’m open to any site with free shipping. My budget is tight, so I’m looking for the cheapest option. I didn’t mention needing a very quiet keyboard, but that’s not essential. Those keyboards look good, but I’d rather avoid spending too much unless it’s just slightly pricier keyboards with backlight adjustments, so I’d still like to explore those as well.

What type of keyboard size are you seeking? Please share your location, the preferred platform for buying, and your strict budget for the keyboard. I previously owned a Logitech G105 MW3 edition model with three backlight adjustment stages, but it had a rubber domed design which I replaced with the Corsair K65 Compact and later upgraded to a Keychron Q1 v2.

I am searching for a full-size keyboard available in the United States. I plan to buy from Amazon, but any site with free shipping works too. I need the most affordable choice. I didn’t mention wanting a very quiet keyboard, though that’s not essential. Those keyboards are nice, but I’d prefer more budget-friendly options with backlight adjustments if needed. I’d appreciate suggestions for relatively expensive ones as well so I can compare. Thank you!
