Question 1

Just bought this keyboard-- the backlighting is gorgeous, but I've noticed that it's noticeably dimmer on the lower characters. Like on the !/1 key, the '!' is brighter and well lit, while the '1'  is a little dimmer. It's like that throughout the entire number row, as well as like that for almost every key that hast two characters/symbols assigned to it, like the Enter key. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yeah, that's normal. Backlighted Cherry MX switches are designed like that, the LED is in the upper section of the switch, so the light concentrates on that part.

Hope it helps!

Question 2

Can you turn off the backlighting completely if desired?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It has several effects.  One of the options is to turn it off completely.
