#1 Keychron Q6 HE
4.5

RGB lighting quality was positive because reviewers found it subtle, comfortable, and not distracting.

Pros: build quality, keycap quality

Cons: switch options, portability

#2 Keychron Q5 HE
4.5

RGB lighting quality was viewed positively where reviewers discussed it, especially for brightness, underglow, and general lighting appeal.

Pros: size and form factor, typing feel

Cons: switch options, portability

#3 Keychron Q1 Ultra 8K

Lighting is polished and attractive with smooth effects, but the south-facing LEDs and dark internal dampening can make the glow less even. Full brightness also reduces battery life sharply.

Pros: build quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: portability, ergonomics

#4 Keychron Q3 HE

Cons: switch options

#5 Keychron K10 HE
4.2

RGB lighting quality was mostly praised for attractive, subtle, or visible lighting, with one caveat that legends do not shine through.

Pros: typing feel, design aesthetics

#7 Keychron K2 HE
3.9

RGB lighting quality ranged from bright and attractive to partially blocked by opaque caps, making it version-dependent.

Pros: value for money, design aesthetics

#8 Keychron Q1 HE
3.9

Lighting quality is mixed-positive: reviewers often found it bright, smooth, vivid, or attractive, but some said it looked muted or got lost under the keycaps.

Cons: switch options, ergonomics

#9 Keychron V1 Ultra 8K
3.9

The lighting is colorful, smooth, and clean between the keys, but solid non-shine-through caps substantially mute its visual impact.

Cons: polling rate, frame rigidity

#10 Keychron K4 HE
3.6

RGB lighting quality was mixed, ranging from vibrant and customizable to subdued, hard to see, or dim on the Special Edition.
