Been looking around and the only boards i can find are the noppo choc (not a fan) and the KBT race which have backlit keys. I gota be able to turn off the backlighting or have it be nonexistent since i take certain keys off and i find it distracting

would love some other potential board ideas

The Race has the ability to turn off the lights, but can also be found non-backlit with PBT keys and reds.

If you're not going to use backlighting, don't bother with a backlit board since they use ABS keycaps which are prone to shine.

(with the exception of Deck but I they don't come in MX Red)

I would worry less about shine and more about wearing through the top color coat.
