Looking for a certain kind of keyboard

SpacePioneer

I'm not sure if this exists. I have looked around, and have not seen anything that includes what I want..

 

I want to get a keyboard that is as flat/low-profile as possible (I have gotten used to typing on my laptop and would rather not start having to type on mountains whenever I use this keyboard) but I want it to be as silent as possible and definitely want it to have RGB lighting...(I have games to make a lot of noise if I want to...but I don't, hence why I use headphones, and I want the thing to look cool..) 

 

But I'm not sure there is a keyboard out there with that combination, as from what I can tell it's basically a contradiction in terms. It seems like RGB = high end and flat = low end, which are mainly what I want...There seems to be some with the flat + silent combination, even less with silent + RGB, slim to none with RGB + flat and none with all of them...I could live with a keyboard that makes some noise so long as you can't hear me typing 582 miles and 13 yards away, but even the flat + RGB combination seems rarer than Osmium and when you find one it just lights up sections of the keyboard as one color or another instead of the "normal" RBG lighting that is usually shown by the keyboard showing a full "rainbow" of color...

So...does the kind of keyboard I want even exist? And if it does do any of you know of one?

And as far as switches go, I don't have enough experience with different switches to really have a preference although I'm probably most used to scissor switches since from what I've read that's what most laptops use, so I guess those would be best?

It seems possible what I want doesn't exist, so if that is the case, what are your recommendations?

Thanks for any and all help with this...

The razer blade has chroma keys that's what I think you're going for.  Mechanical key switches are not meant to be small, so idk if you'll find that. 

Try using the PSU Tier List!
