Hey, I totally get feeling overwhelmed — there’s a lot of little details with mechanical keyboards, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s a clear breakdown to help make things easier:

Backlit Keycaps

• You’re right to care — if you need shine-through keycaps for a bright room, the black RK R75 may be the only default option.
• But you’re not stuck forever with just that. You can always:
• • Buy a backlit-compatible keycap set later (just make sure it supports Cherry profile (which virtually all of them do), shine-through legends (the letters and numbers etc.), and a 75% layout).

Swapping Switches & Keycaps

• The R75 is hot-swappable, so you don’t need to take the whole thing apart just to change switches or keycaps.
• • If you ever want to do deeper mods like sound dampening, then you’d need to open it up and be careful with the internal cables. But that’s optional.

Firmware & Software

• RK’s software is basic but functional — not as polished as Razer Synapse, but it lets you do the essentials: lighting, remapping, and macros.
• You don’t need to worry about installing weird software just to make it usable. It works out of the box.

Should You Pull the Trigger?

• If it checks your must-haves (tactile switches, backlight, 75% layout, decent price), and you’re not looking to do advanced mods or ultra-specific remapping, it’s a great value.
• It’s better-built than most other keyboards at this price, and you’ll get a solid typing experience right out of the box.
• For me personally, if I am unsure on a purchase, I always like to get a good night’s sleep before deciding. It may sound cliché, but I am much closer to my best when I wake up in the mornings, and have had copious amounts of caffeine.

Let me know if you want a list of compatible shine-through keycap sets for that board, and I’ll see what I can find.
