Hardware & Technical Do any of the fancy light-up keyboards work out of the box with Elite Dangerous?

Do any of the light-up keyboards (like the Chroma keyboards) light only the keys that are bound in Elite Dangerous (out of the box, no fiddling and tweaking needed), or I'd have to make a keyboard profile, or search online for a profile? I don't care at all about the pretty rainbow sparkles or ripples that some of the Chroma keyboards can do...I just want something that will highlight the usable keys (preferably without any tweaking on my part).

Some Razers can do it. My favourite Nighthawk Pro X, too.
But none of them specifically have an Elite related profile. You simply have to turn individual keys on or off.

I ended up getting the Corsair K70. The Razer Chroma only lights up one of the two characters on keys with more than one symbol, and I'd heard if you have the lights off, you can't see the !@#$% symbols on the number keys. So if it's movie night and my projector is going and the lights are off, I probably won't be able to see any of the !@#${}:"? keys (which defeats the purpose of an illuminated keyboard).

I illuminated the few keys that are mapped to the keyboard (all I do with the keyboard are navigate the maps and take screenshots), which was easy enough, but it would be cool if Frontier actually integrates it into their program and illuminates the keys based on context/which menu you're in.

It would be cool if you jump to a red giant and the wall illuminates with red/orange, or you stop in front of a black hole, and the room goes black...or your room starts flashing red when your ship takes heat damage.
