Media Buttons on Razer Keyboard are unlit

All Iwant is a black Air75v3 with UK layout :(
my criteria were: 96% or greater size UK ISO low profile of which the only option seemed to be keychron. went with the K5 Max and it's been lovely so far. looks like there are some compatible keycaps that would make it all black, but I haven't tried them.

Opinions on Mac vs Windows laptop for ultra portable?
Yes, I am already using a Keychron K5Max. It is a mechanical QMK keyboard and a nice person on Readit has been remapping it using a custom one handed-friendly chorded layout. It has been a life changer for me as I have develop moderate Carpeltunnel in my one hand. But, since I started using this new

Keychron v5/v6 max or ultra. For low profile k5 max. The best typing feels I had. Own both k5 and v5.

Worked or wireless?
I've been wireless for years now. I like having less clutter. I used to have a lower-end Logitech keyboard and mouse. Changed batteries maybe once a year. Last year switched to a Keychron K5 Max. It's a dream to type on. And go months between charges, despite charging when the battery drops to 50-60

What's the best mechanical keyboard on the market widely loved currently?
I have a keychron k5 max with brown switches. I returned two before this one. The first one had linear switches (red ones I think) and I didn't get along with them - lots of mistake key presses as they were too sensitive. Moved to brown switches. The second one had two keys that didn't work & a coup

Do mechanical keyboards really make a big difference for everyday gaming?
I have had your normal dell board, a razer black widow with red switches, a Corsair with optical switches and now have a keychron k5 max with brown switches.

Low-profile keyboard for programming + gaming
I used the Keychron K5 for a production job I did last year and found it mostly enjoyable, though I did realize I prefer normal-profile boards after extended use. That said, I think it ticks the boxes you’re looking for. I linked the full spec version, the K5 Max, but there’s a comparison chart near
