    The color for everything is set to magenta (255, 0 , 255) but the right side looks messed up. This happens in both Windows and Linux. Can anyone reproduce or is it just mine?

    edit: forgot to mention. Blue or Red seems to be fine. Some other colors are like this but not blue or red.

    I see what you mean. It's not a commonality on this keyboard; looks like a minor defect with the LEDs.

    I have similar problem, but on the left side and only with blue LED-s.

    Can you offset the right portion to counteract the difference? Might be worth updating BIOS/EC.

    I can (the middle zone). I hoped that switching to Obsidian BIOS would help, but it hadn't. So yeah, it's faulty keyboard, not software.
