Brief conclusions of the comparison keyboards

Keyboards Keychron K1 SE RGB and K1 SE White have similar features, such as connection type (Bluetooth and wired), Bluetooth version (v 5.1), compact size, and Brow optical-mechanical switches. However, the main difference lies in the backlighting: the first model offers RGB backlighting with effects, while the second has white backlighting. Both devices support Multi-Device mode and have the same dimensions and weight. Users note that both keyboards provide good tactile feedback and ease of use.

Lighting

The colour of the backlight provided in the design of the keyboard.

In general, the backlight performs two functions: practical (makes the keys more visible in low light) and aesthetic (gives the keyboard a beautiful appearance). However, it cannot be said that non-backlit keyboards will be unusable in the dark, the light from the monitor will still illuminate the buttons. The simplest version of the backlight is one-colour. In this case, specific colours can be different: for example, white is well suited for general-purpose keyboards (work or home), but other shades can be found in gaming or design models, for example, red, green, blue, purple or orange. If two or three colours are indicated for the keyboard, this may mean either the ability to switch between these colours, or that this model comes in several versions that differ in the shade of the backlight; these nuances should be clarified separately.

The most advanced options are multi-colour and RGB backlighting. Multi-colour systems are called systems in which more than three colour options are provided, sometimes with intermediate...shades. And RGB-backlight allows you to choose almost any shade at the request of the user; in addition, the possibility of synchronization (see "Illumination with effects") is found mainly in such systems, although single-colour keyboards can also be equipped with other effects.

Lighting effects

The presence of additional effects in the backlight provided in the keyboard (see above). For models with the backlight synchronization function, this item indicates the synchronization technology.

Additional backlight effects can be different: multi-coloured backlighting of individual keyboard zones, smooth “flowing” of one colour into another, response to system or game events, etc.; specific features should be clarified for each model separately. As for synchronization, it allows you to coordinate the backlighting of various system components — keyboards, case mice, graphics cards, etc.; this opportunity is especially appreciated by the owners of high-end gaming stations. Coordination requires that all highlighted components support the same technology; usually, each manufacturer has its own — Aura Sync for Asus, RGB Fusion for Gigabyte, etc.
