To kick off the gaming highlights is the soft blue backlighting, evenly filling out the cracks between keys with an ambient glow and shining through the large laser etched characters on each key. There is no brightness control, but the blue glow remains visible in well lit rooms and does not overpower the monitor when the lights are out. The glow through the actual characters is somewhat faint, appearing as standard white-ish keys during the daytime but showing off their true characteristics at night, maintaining legibility. The function keys are the only ones to be truly dim, appearing as a haze at night.
