Yea, I know this isnt possible for this product. I would like to be able to have a nice RGB keyboard for my laptop. I often go places and bring my Helios with me. I would like to be able to upgrade my keyboard to RGB. I am experienced enough to install a product correctly, but I would love a product like that released. A lot of gamers that use a laptop as their main, or just for the go, an RGB keyboard allows them to customize the looks of their setup. Whether it be rainbow, or just 1 color at a time. With me, I just use my Corsair K70 RGB Rapidfire. I keep it on a solid color, but it fades to a different color every few seconds. I like that kind of customization. I saw the other day that Lenovo had released a new laptop with a 1050ti and an 8th gen i7. While the performance isnt as nice, I like the peripherals of it. They teamed up with Corsair for the keyboard installed too. It uses the Corsair iCue program for the keyboard lighting. It is nice. I want something like this for Acer because we all Acer is the best of the best when it comes to budget, high performance PCs. I personally have a custom built desktop, but for Predator laptops, this could be revolutionary and bring in a ton of sales. I think a lot of people would buy the Predator laptops even more if they had the rgb keyboard. People like the ability to personalize their colors and whatnot. That just my input tho. :)

    You might have to use an after market component since Acer does not manufacture these... but this too if you can find one. I am not sure if that's worth the trouble and effort.
    Using an RGB might push the price of this laptop by another 50 or 100 or so. And users like me are okay as long as the keyboard is backlit and that additional amount is used to push up the amount of RAM or disk or such. Airing my view on this.
    To top all this, there are many Predator users who use this as a desktop replacement and have external keyboards, monitor, and what not. And these external keyboards pretty much can be purchased with all the features we want.
