hey guys,

like the title suggests, i am trying to figure out if there are any mechanical keyboards (any switch) that have controllable RGB back lighting... i cant seem to find any, but they make mice with controllable rgb lights, so i have no idea why they dont make keyboards with them yet

... if you guys know of any let me know

thanks in advance,
