In terms of lighting effects, the keyboard is equipped with a strip of LED light on all four edges and the buttons are equipped with 38 custom lighting areas. Various lighting effects can be customized through Razer Synapse software, and the keyboard can be fully customized and programmable. Key macro, change the keys on the keyboard at will.
