The new be quiet! Light Mount Keyboard Review – The stylish full-size sister of the Dark Mount with striking RGB lighting

1 - Introduction and unboxing 2 - Switches, features and target group 3 - Software and sound check 4 - Summary and conclusion

After the Dark Mount had already impressed us in our previous test with its versatile features and quiet typing behavior, it makes sense to take a closer look at the Light Mount. This model is the full-format version, which is also equipped with fully addressable RGB lighting. The design is based on the restrained, functional aesthetics of the series, but the extended lighting adds a visual component that is particularly effective in darker environments. A central control element is the integrated rotary control, which can be used to control media functions quickly and precisely. In everyday use, this contributes significantly to user-friendliness, especially when switching between different applications or scenarios.

As with the Dark Mount, the Light Mount also focuses on the quiet typing feel. The built-in switches in combination with the multi-layered insulation ensure muted acoustics and make the keyboard a suitable choice for users who work or play in noise-sensitive environments. In the rest of the test, we will examine how the Light Mount performs in practice and how it differs from its sister model.

Unboxing and scope of delivery

The rear view of the transport box:

A first look inside the packaging reveals a well thought-out and careful arrangement of all components. The board itself is securely wrapped in a protective film to protect it from external influences such as dust, scratches or other damage during transportation. It rests snugly in a sturdy holder, which not only ensures a secure hold, but also offers a pleasant unboxing experience. Directly behind it, in a separate, also organized section, are the extensive accessories, which are clearly arranged for quick access. Each accessory is individually packaged to protect it from possible damage during transportation and strategically placed so that it is immediately apparent which additional components are included when the packaging is opened. This well thought-out presentation underlines the high-quality claim of the product and ensures an organized and appealing unpacking experience.

The high-quality USB-C to USB-A cable is placed in the center, securely stowed away and held in position by a separate holder to prevent it from slipping during transport. Even at first glance, the sheathing of the cable gives a durable and robust impression, which suggests a high-quality finish. Right next to it is the ergonomic wrist rest, which has been carefully wrapped in protective film to protect it from external influences such as dust or scratches. The pad impresses with its pleasant feel and high-quality padding, which ensures maximum comfort and provides ergonomic support for longer usage sessions.

The board impresses at first glance with its fascinating and sophisticated lighting, which is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The lighting is even and intense, stylishly highlighting the individual elements of the board. The top bar is particularly eye-catching, acting as a central design element with its brilliant illumination. It gives the overall picture a sophisticated and modern look, while the harmonious color scheme creates a pleasant atmosphere. The sophisticated integration of LED technology creates an elegant effect that enhances the overall appearance of the board and provides an impressive lighting effect.

The back of the board is kept simple.
