Now if you’re interested in my recommendations for a light-up keyboard I would have to go with the Felicon Chargeable which you can gab here (link takes you to Amazon). So what about rechargeable and non-rechargeable keyboards, is there a difference in energy consumption? And what about keyboards that have their LEDs turned up all the way, does this burn energy faster?

The most energy keyboards will use, light up or not is 2.5 Watts per hour from a USB port. The majority of keyboards, light-up or not, use on average 0.5 Watts per hour from a USB port. Light-up and LED keyboards do not use more electricity than traditional keyboards. With light-up keyboards now all the rage for anyone who has a home office (myself included), one of the questions I know I had was if light-up keyboards use more electricity. What was once an expensive item is now used frequently in cheaper items such as keyboards. One of the largest advancements in home office tech over the past ten years has been LED lights.
