Can you get the RGB to sync with your monitor, like Hue Play lights?

My wife likes the clicky keyboards and doesn't care if her staff is bothered. I guess I lucked out because it never occurred to me to even check with her. I like my clicky keyboards too.

These Aukey keyboards are nice for the price.

Got two out of the last deal (G12), one with click switches, one without. The clicky one feels like much higher quality even though other than the switches, they're identical. The non click ones are still loud, but they clack rather than click.

You can customize the lights via keyboard shortcuts and there are like 12 presets without using the software. I don't use the software since I have a Mac, but you can supposedly customize them further. They don't come with extra keycaps for Mac, but the keys are easily replaceable. They're the cheaper kind, but you can't expect more for the price.

The only thing I don't like is the cord is not detachable. Other than that, great starter mechanical.

I used to have an Aukey keyboard with per key customization. I really liked it and the blue switches, but it did stop working about a year after owning it. I will say, Aukey customer service is excellent and wouldn't hesitate to try again based on that alone.

The second link to the 108 key keyboard is . . . pink.

Edit: the listing didn't label the color until I mentioned it. Before then, clicking on that link was a pink surprise.

That's the issue with these. A fair amount seems to stop working after awhile.

Can the function keys be inverted? hate to press two keys to change volume.

i bought these but with red switches for my brother, he used it for 6 months then one of the keys stopped working. contacted aukey support and tried some troubleshooting steps and then they sent out a new one to replace it. pretty good experience.
