I've been looking to move on from membrane keyboards and go mechanical, but no matter where I look literally every mech has some form of obnoxious RGB lighting on it. Are there any that just.. don't have it?

Then look for mechanical keyboards instead of gaming keyboards.

Go with the originals. Cherry, das keyboard, unicomp. Even Logitech has backlit but non-rgb lights.

Personally I'm using a Filco Majestouch.

Another vote here for Das Keyboard. I've had mine well over ten years and it's still fantastic. And no flashy lights.

Mine has served that long and is now a hand me down for my kid's first Linux box.

Yep, it's the RBG that makes a mechanical keyboard a gaming keyboard.

Gaming keyboards are also usually linear, but that's not a hard rule.
