This one seems to have zero software to allow you to address the RGB keys, which might diminish its capabilities quite a bit.
I'm not too sold on the font... especially around the numpad. It also doesn't look like the keys are double shot, so that might be a little concerning.
If you don't need the RGB, you can find single backlight keyboards from more reputable brands for around the $50 mark that may have a little bit more functionality built in.
They're linear with a tactile click, so you'll eventually learn to not bottom them out, making them even quieter than reds for most people.
The next step up from that would be red switches such as these but with key dampeners added.
Key dampeners can be added to nearly any type of switch to diminish their bottoming out (the key hitting the chassis of the keyboard and making a CLACK sound), but they obviously make more sense in a linear switch where you don't have an audible click.
It's extremely uncommon, but you can also use thin felt strips between the rows of keys for a softer "landing" of the key.

Its a solid keyboard, heavier than the cheapies I got lying around.
Might give the red one a try.

The one I have is only white lit and is completely controlled by pressing certain keys, no software. That must be how this one is controlled. Pressing certain keys cycles through the available choices.
Yeah, it's mostly reliant on set patterns and a limited memory function.
Conversely, keyboards with software controllers are usually 100% addressable.
I don't look down at my keyboard all too often, but having addressable keys does allow you to light up specific ones to correspond with your software.
For touch typists, that might seem gimmicky, but I could see it help with learning or to supersede colored key caps in editing keyboards.

Something like price/quality of Rosewill? Or closer to AmazonBasics?

Cherry Brown switches would be better for most office settings.

I'm considering pulling the trigger on this one just for having a nice back-up, the lack of software is attractive to me!
