be quiet! Light Mount and Dark Mount Keyboard Review

Screen In Use

Screen In Use

Speaking of the logo, here is the screen all lit up, in “idle” mode. As you can see the media keys are lit up too. Unfortunately like the lock indicators they’re white only. Boo.

Because we have to write and review on various days of the week we often forget which day it actually is. A permanent clock is always handy. It’s 5 to 5 on a Sunday afternoon* and the weather is clear and sunny.

You can control simple features easily enough with the Media Dock. Handy if you just want to change colours in a hurry, or switch profile without loading the software.

Let’s not pretend otherwise, this is a mini Stream Deck. That is a spectacular thing. We can’t possibly tell you how much we use ours, so having one built into the keyboard for those ultra-common elements is a delight. It does go some way to explaining the price point of the Dark Mount too. But seriously, this is game-changing stuff.

Whether it’s a problem with our pre-release model, or just the software, we do have to point out that the images aren’t centralised properly. To wit, our logo.
