You’ll be limited to the lighting profile that the manufacturer programmed into the keyboard itself. There are some good deals you can get on RGB mechanical keyboards, and in some cases, you can customize the backlight settings on the keyboard itself (no program required). You will need to download something for the more sophisticated boards, but they offer much more in terms of lighting options.

Razer is a company that understands aesthetics and lighting, as evidenced by their Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboard. This full-sized mechanical keyboard has amazing RGB lighting that perfectly coordinates with all your other Razer peripherals.
If you wish to use your custom lighting effects with Razer, you must keep the Razer Chroma Studio software open and active on your desktop. If not, it will default back to its spectrum cycling pattern. The software can be bulky and possibly slow down your PC if you don’t have the extra specs for it, which is a downside for many people.
This keyboard has a lot of great features, such as a plush wrist rest that is extra comfy for long periods of gameplay or work. It also has 5 dedicated macro keys on the left side of the keyboard, which are perfect for use in MMORPG and MOBAs.
It has a 10-key rollover which allows you to press multiple keys without worrying about the keyboard not registering them. In addition, it uses Razer’s proprietary switches which have a great feel and sound.
If you find the full-size keyboard too big, there is also a TKL version available.
3.Corsair K95 RGB Keyboard
I would recommend the Corsair K95 over the Corsair K70 if you’re a hardcore gamer who requires a lot of dedicated macro keys. Both the K70 and the K95 mechanical keyboards are well known in the keyboard community.

Even though it’s costly, this keyboard has an amazing build and is loaded with features that most other mechanical keyboards don’t have.
There are two different versions of the K95 available for purchase, an all-black aluminum version, and a brushed gunmetal version. There are also two different switch options: Cherry MX Speed for extremely fast and responsive lightweight switches and Cherry MX Brown for a lightweight tactile switch that you can use for work and gaming.
This keyboard is designed for gaming and has NKRO and 100% anti-ghosting to register each key press, no matter how many are pressed down at once, to improve your performance. The top has dedicated media keys with a volume scroll wheel and an easy-access mute button in case someone wants to talk to you while you’re playing games with a headset on or listening to music.
The K95 comes with a detachable wrist rest which is not as comfortable as other keyboards because it is made of hard plastic.
