Additionally, it has built-in RGB lighting to add a bit of flair to your setup as well as for typing in dimly lit environments. Using the dedicated Spectrum Color Dial, you can choose from a variety of colors to best fit your aesthetics. For your convenience, it has a single USB 2.0 Type-A port that you can use to quickly connect other devices and peripherals such as a mouse.
The choice between membrane, low-profile, and mechanical switches determines typing feel and noise. Consider ergonomics and layout sizes (full-size vs tenkeyless) based on desk space and numpad reliance. Available from $129.
Keyboards are passive peripherals with almost zero cost of ownership. Wireless models may require occasional battery replacements, but energy costs are negligible.
