As stated in the title, the gen 2 keyboard and number pad don’t have the same white color. Which I’m finding really off putting. Is there a way to make them match both in white color and in brightness? It seems you have to control each brightness separately which is annoying.

Do you have a photo which would show this difference?

There is not an RGB numpad afaik, which means the numpad is using white LEDs, while your RGB keyboard is using RGB LEDs that have to “simulate” white by illuminating all the colors at once.

So if course you are not going to see the same tones of white on both, it’s nearly impossible. You need to get a white only keyboard to match the numpad.
