UK Matias Wired RGB Backlit Aluminum Keyboard for PC Black - FK318PCLBB-UK Anonymous Having worn the letters off of the keys on a number of keyboards, I sought a board that was durable and provided as clear a set of symbols on the keys as possible. Matias announced an RGB-backlit wired aluminum keyboard for Mac. Apple last week surprised us with the early launch of the new Magic.

Matias' latest keyboard creation takes cues from Apple's iconic design language, complete with a svelte aluminum chassis in silver or space gray black chiclet-style keys and key font faithful to the original.
Not content on delivering a near replica of the now-discontinued wired Mac keyboard, which it did last year, Matias adds an RGB backlighting system that can be controlled by a rotary dial located on the keyboard's rear panel. Rotating the dial shifts backlight colors through a rainbow of colors.
Matias notes the Color Dial effectively negates blue light levels at night, which some studies have found to negatively impact a body's natural sleep cycle. From white, the keyboard cycles through a range of colors including yellow and red. Brightness can also be customized in 10 percent increments using a dedicated key and pressing the '+' or '-' buttons, or tapping on a number key.
Like all good Mac keyboards, Matias includes function keys that correspond to macOS system controls. The keys themselves offer two millimeters of travel, while a built-in USB 2.0 port serves as a handy connection point for a wired mouse.
Matias offers the RGB wired keyboard in a number of language layouts including U.S. English, UK English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Swiss, Nordic, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean.
The device can be preordered from Matias for $99, with shipments expected to head out in February.
