Additional Review Notes
Update: We’ve converted this review to Test Bench 1.1. This update adds several new tests addressing Hardware Customization, Macro Keys And Programming, and Wireless Mobile Compatibility. We’ve also added new objective evaluations to the Typing Noise test, and we’ve simplified several tests and removed several others that were no longer relevant. For an in-depth look at all our changes, you can see our full changelog here.

Hello, I intend to use the keyboard in pitch black. Can you make the backlighting extremely dark by choosing lowest rgb values? This is espeically important because the light comes all over the keyboard rather than just through key caps?
edit: I am using g413 se right now and if i turn off backlight and cycle the mods twice, i get the lowest brightness which is satisfactory but Id like for it to go lower.

Hey Blitz,
You can make the backlighting quite dark on this keyboard by choosing the lowest RGB values, a similar low light value to the lowest setting on the Logitech G413 se.
This picture is taken in a pitch black room with the lowest RGB setting, but I can confirm that the photo makes it look a bit brighter than it is in person.
I hope that helps answer your question.

I just want to clarify, since the image is pink, did you use keyboard shortcuts to lower the brightness to minimum? If so, Is it possible to choose the darkest gray from software? I dont know how the software works but ideally I would choose the brightness as 1 for all R, G, B channels out of 255. Is that possible to do? And if so, any chance you can take a pic of both keyboards at their dimmest like that? (with the aformentioned method for the g413 se)
side note: I watched the software showcase in the review but the solid color option to the left of the color options were never clicked.

Here there,
I’m afraid I can’t help you with taking additional images, but I can confirm that the pink image is at the lowest brightness settings using keyboard shortcuts. You can customize the colors using the software, but you can’t fine-tune the brightness to be dimmer than what is displayed in that image, and the exact color control isn’t quite that precise so you’ll likely only be able to display a near-white rather than a dark gray color.
Hope that helps!
