The K70 RGB MK.2 SE keyboard is no exception in that regard, as this keyboard features excellent build quality, as well as one of the best RGB lighting systems we’ve seen in keyboards so far. The K70 RGB features aircraft grade silver anodized brushed aluminum frame, built to withstand a lifetime of gaming, and it also sports high-quality CHERRY MX Speed mechanical switches that are able to provide great reliability and accuracy thanks to their 1.2 mm acutation.
Featuring per-key RGB lighting customization, this keyboard offers almost unlimited number of illumination profiles, and it comes with a soft and removable wrist rest. The K70 RBG MK.2 SE also comes with dedicated volume and multimedia controls, and you also get 8MB of onboard memory to store all of your macros, lighting profiles, and shortcuts.

In case you are looking for a super-light, tenkeyless white gaming keyboard, then you’ll like the Razer BlackWidow Lite TKL. Weighing only 650 grams (1.45 pounds), this is by far one of the lightest TKL gaming keyboards available out there, and it features fully detachable USB cable which allows you to conveniently store this keyboard while you are on the go. The Razer BlackWidow Lite comes with Razer’s Orange Mechanical Switches which are extremely silent and produce fantastic tactile feedback. They are also rated to 80 million clicks, which puts them right on par with Cherry MX switches.
This keyboard also comes with individually backlit keys. Unfortunately, LED backlighting is only available in white color, but you can tune its brightness according to your own preferences. Another plus is the fact that you can lit only certain zones, which may come in handy if you prefer to see only certain keys lit. The BlackWidow Lite also features fully programmable macro support, and it comes with O ring sound dampeners to further reduce noise. In short, if you don’t mind its lack of RGB customization, and prefer small and TKL keyboards, then this one is perfect for you.

Thanks to its sophisticated design, and great performance, this is by far one of the best white wireless gaming keyboards currently available on the market.
The G915 TKL measures 368 mm in length, which means this is a very compact keyboard. It features thin, durable, and comfortable keys, and it comes with interchangeable mechanical switches. The keyboard also allows you to address RGB lighting per-key, and thanks to the G HUB software you can create your own custom macros and profiles.

For a fair price, this keyboard is able to offer loads of features, which, quite frankly, is a rarity these days. Starting off with design, you get a solid aircraft-grade metal and ABS construction, with plate mounted keys, precision engineered keycaps, and high-end switches. Thanks to its tenkeyless design, this keyboard can also fit anywhere you want, which is perfect if you have an already cramped up desktop table.
The K552 uses Outemu blue key switches, which are somewhat similar to Cherry Blue MX switches when it comes to quality, and are able to sustain up to 50 million keystrokes, which is quite impressive. The average keystroke travel is 2.0 mm, and their actuation force is rated to about 50g. This keyboard also comes with 18 different RGB lighting modes, and 5 backlighting brightness levels. Unfortunately, this keyboard doesn’t feature per-key RGB customization, but this is no surprise given its price tag. The N-key rollover support also makes sure your keystrokes are always precise, which is nice to have on a such budget keyboard.

Although it wasn’t designed to be used for gaming, the Apple Magic Keyboard is still a stunning white keyboard that can be efficiently used both for productivity, as well as for leisure time. The Apple Magic Keyboard is unique for several reasons. Firstly, it is probably the lightest wireless keyboard on the planet, as it weighs only 231 grams (0.51 pounds). Secondly, it is also one of the thinnest keyboards available on the market, measuring only 1.09 cm in height.
Obviously, if you are a fan of low profile keyboards, then the Apple Magic Keyboard is a perfect match for you. Typing on this keyboard feels precise and responsive thanks to low key travel, as well as Apple’s stable scissor mechanism which lies beneath each key. Despite its amazing design, this keyboard does have a couple of flaws. For start, it has no RGB lighting, nor media control keys, and it features no support for macros. Good thing, however, is that it’s perfectly compatible with both macOS and Windows devices, as well as with Apple iPhone and iPad devices.
