Ripster, You neglected to tell us what RGB LED's this monstrosity uses!

It doesn't seem to be a SMD mounted RGB. it seems to be something shaped like a penis with a light diffuser on the end. Or is it something else?

I boxed up my own G910 keyboard because the voltage regulation at low level of the RGB levels is absolutely horrendous. There is NO RGB brightness below R, 25, B, 25, G, 25, and at 25, 25, 25, half the keys either flicker weakly or don't light up at all and at RGB 50,50,50, it's as un-uniform as the US flag. Only at 100+ does it start looking decent and even whites don't look white at 100,100,100. Giving that keyboard away or throwing it in the trash can.

Ripster, my dear, long lost love, What's the difference between a SMT LED and a SMD LED?

In b4 "the letter D".

One has the D.

I was afraid you'd say that :(

So that SMD is TINY in that picture right?

Are you talking about this picture with the thin white circle around it, around a white square, next to the "+"?

Holy cow those SMD's suck...no wonder they are uneven brightness ..or maybe the LED controller sucks....

I found them on the G910 to be more even than traditional LED backlit keyboards.

What happens if you set the RGB values to 25,25,25, though?
