it's actually hard to get a non rgb mechanical these days lol
I just keep mine at a low-level single-color mode.
Das Keyboard 4. They have versions with labels now, rather than the blank keys of the original Das.
Tons of mechanical keyboards that just light up, which is useful. Rainbow RGB shit is just for fags.
I know, and it's annoying as hell. I want to get a non-programmable basic bitch mechanical for work, because it's a really locked down environment, and last I looked couldn't find any. So I'm stuck with the OEM Dell membrane keys.
Ducky if you want to pay a bit more. Or find a used steelseries 6gv2, I use one, very no-frills, no lights or macro buttons, well built, cherry black switches. They're under $50 used.
I was in a similar situation when I was still in the office. They were uptight about bringing stuff from home so I had to get something that blended in. But I was sick of going to work and using a shitty membrane keyboard. I got a ikbc 108 series. A couple years ago it was one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards on the market that used genuine MX cherry switches. ~$60. I got browns for more stealth. It's just a solid normal looking keyboard that served me well in the office. Now that I'm full time WFH I use it as a backup.
You don't even want one that you can turn off? You can always buy a used Ducky or Das Keyboard.
Most of the best ones are non-RGB, like Ducky etc. It's only the gaming stuff which is all RGB and typically worse build quality overall. I have an old steelseries 6gv2 from about 8 years ago that has no RGB and is built like a tank, feels like a throwback before "gaming gear" became shoving LEDs on cheap plastic crap.
Dollar store and it's the quietest keyboard I've ever used. Also got one for $20 at walmart that is wireless and totally without clicking. Cheap offline is the only way to buy keyboards, the rest of them are totally gay and the rgb if under not through the keys on most and the letting wears off the keys in 3 months normal internet typing use. Worst money I spent on a computer product and there is no protection from crumbs or spills, wide open under the keys no top covering over working components elecronics on the shit one I bought.
