So I have turned the lights off.
Backlit keyboards are for people who don't know where each key is and can't find the keys in the dark.
It's not like the keys have moved and is in a different location than they were yesterday. The keys are at the exact same location as they always are, so you don't need to look at the keyboard to type.

Or you want to tell me that RGB lighting in gaming hardware serves ANY practical purpose at all?
The keys are at the exact same location as they always are, so you don't need to look at the keyboard to type.
Also different keyboards have different sizes and the buttons will be in different locations (offset to the right or left or up or down) if compared.
Which is why 99.999999% of the keyboards have the letters printed on them, you know.

Can't run from it, can't fight it. I started doing cold showers and cold baths. This results in the body adapting to the climate through gene expression by producing cold chock proteins.
Cold shock proteins and even gene expression are completely unrelated.
You aren't a fucking bacterium, you are a warm-blooded mammal with functional active thermo-regulation systems.
If you are in a colder environment your body just ramps up heat generation in the brown adipose tissue and muscles. Internal temperature stays the same 37 degrees celsius no matter what.
Of course this has limits, but if you didn't die of hypothermia yet, then you are still within a temperature that is comfortable for humans.

I always prefered the ThinkLight approach myself, less fashionable but works better IMO (if you're actually concerned about low-light visibility) https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkLight

I don't know. I am using computers for what, 25 years now? I can type blindfolded and all that, and I can find the home row on the keyboard. And I always worked without a backlight. But recently (~6 months ago) I bought a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L- bought it for layout & the feel of the mechanical switches. And I find myself enjoying working with backlight on in the dark or twilight. I know I can find things blindfolded, but having visual input on where things are in addition to tactile input helps, just makes it a bit easier and less effort and more pleasant. So don't judge us backlight users too quickly. Try it yourself- you might unexpectedly like it. I thought it was a gimmick as well before I tried it, and now I actually like it.
