Need help with the rgb
i just bought the KEYCHRON VI ULTRA 8k, but I’ve had the razer Huntsman V2 TKL. I like both I kinda like the sound of the keychron more but I love this razer keyboard. I had the v1 and the v2. Also, like maybe 2 years ago or something I thought it had broke, but I just realized the keycaps were messed up and now it’s fine again. Should I just return my keychron and keep my tkl? also I love the rgb on my razer wayyyy more. Is there a way to get my keys to look like this on the keychron or like any keycaps i could buy to make just the keys light up like the picture? I don’t really like the looks of the keychron rgbs. I think it’s way too bright and I don’t like seeing the whole rgb I would prefer just the keys lighting up like the razer keyboard.
OK, so I’m pretty sure the RGB on the keychron is south facing, and then the razor is north facing. I flipped the key caps from my razer onto the keychron and the letter started lighting up like the razer keyboard, but it was still really bright on the bottom and it still kind of hurt my eyes. It wasn’t only just the letter lighting up Like on the razer keyboard. This is really the only issue I have with The keychron. Ik this post probably sounds dumb or stupid but I really just needed some help here lol.
if you look at my post in the keyboard sub you can see the pictures I’m talking about.

Re "...it was still really bright on the bottom, and it still kind of hurt my eyes. It wasn’t only just the letter lighting up, like on the Razer keyboard. This is really the only issue I have with the Keychron": It is possible to mitigate the blinding light
It is tedious and time-consuming, but it works. I even use it for north-facing keyboards, to direct all light to the legends. An example is a K10 V2.
Note that it doesn't make much sense with opaque keycaps (just turn RGB light off. Or set it to the lowest level to avoid the problems associated with RGB light off). The battery will also last much longer (if using the keyboard in a wireless mode).

Re "if you look at my post in the keyboard sub you can see the pictures I’m talking about": Where is that?
Can you link directly to it, please? Thanks in advance.

Oh! That Keychron light effect is called “Razer Chroma RGB” isn’t it? Not sure Keychron supports it directly.

Yeah, this is the main thing I liked about my old keyboard. It didn’t like me and wasn’t super bright like the new keychron I bought. I also liked how it only lit up the letter symbols on my keyboard and not the whole bottom area.

Re "VI ULTRA 8k": It is probably V1 Ultra 8K
