![]() ![]() And there were times when some functions wouldn’t work on my prototype (hopefully this will be addressed with the final keyboards). But I wouldn’t remember them without the handy manual Marsback includes in the box. Thankfully, RGB is controllable with hot keys (as are numerous other functions, such as volume control and a calculator launcher). These 84 LEDs for the keys are also very bright, casting a glow on the RGB base. On top of that, in true gaming keyboard fashion, the keys themselves have per-key RGB for the ultimate dizzying array of RGB overload. This isn’t an issue from a top-down view, but from the sides it makes the RGB glow look unnatural. The downside is the visibility of the individual LEDs, which is so prominent that you can basically count each one. You can adjust brightness, but now matter how you slice it - be that with a rainbow effect, solid color breathing or a small patch of lights circling the perimeter - this is powerful, look-at-me RGB. In fact, I’d advise you not to look directly into these lights for more than a couple seconds unless you’re after a quick headache. ![]() The frosty, diffused exterior often paints a cotton candy effect on the RBGs. When brought to life, they produce a memorable blast of RGB. Lurking within the M1’s base are 21 surface-mounted LEDs. It also makes for a much heavier keyboard than you’d expect of a wireless keyboard with a 75% layout. This makes for a block of a keyboard that looks much different than the black plastic bases and dark tops comprising the vast majority of mechanical clackers today, whether RGB is on or not. This is actually the hardest and most time-consuming part of making the M1. The body was CNC milled out of polycarbonate, because of the material’s translucent look and ”lack of tooling costs,” according to Marsback’s Kickstarter. With its thick, heavy, white-frosted base, the M1’s keys look like they’re sitting in a block of dull ice. ![]()
