Went for reds. Keyboard very nice apart from one really flipping annoying "feature" and that is the cherry lock function. Perfect for games but when in office mode, which honest is what this keyboard will be spending most of its time in, it has the scariest bright white LED under the windows key that you've ever seen. On a positive not it's a lot quieter than the reds are in the K63. it's about the same as an old Cherry business line keyboard on noise. Absolutely glorious to type on though and the wrist rest and positioning is perfect. I'll desolder that LED this evening as it appears no warranty stickers are obscuring any screws
I was going to suggest you pop the key off and apply a little dab of paint or "borrowed" nail polish, but you resolved problem with a FW update. I actually like everything about that KB, except I guess I've gotten a little spoiled by my Toughbooks and my new Lenovo. I'm just NOT willing to give up "backlit" in my keyboard anymore; I now consider it to be a "minimum standard" feature since I found I could get "backlit" in a $27 cheapie.

moo...?
yeah same. My T470 has an illuminated keyboard. I rather like them as well. Subtle neutral colours like white are good.
With firmware fix, low illumination:
Written a few hundred lines of kubernetes manifests and got used to the keys being different shapes now and this is exactly what I've been after.
(excuse the skanky hand prints on it now
