    I am in need of a light-up keyboard but am having trouble finding one with the right amount of features. Is anyone aware of a full size model without all of the fancy "quick access" buttons, wrist rests, etc...? I am looking for simplicity but it seems like these days they only keyboards out there have far too many buttons and features. Thanks for the help.

    simplicity and light up don't go together in my mind; I've only seen a few lighted boards, None of which were "basic".

    Good luck.

    Xoxide has a good amount of keyboards that light up, and a few of them are pretty basic. You can't find many keyboard these days without any extra buttons, but some of them have very few.

    Look up deck keyboards, although they are expensive their build quality is unmatched
