Question For those with a Kingston HyperX Alloy Core RGB Membrane Gaming Keyboard

Have you noticed that, when the backlight is on (either of the two brightnesses), there is a high-pitch whine/hum? (when the room is very quiet)

I am 34 and can hear it.

As soon as I turn the backlight off, the sound disappears.

Very annoying.
 
I can confirm that there is indeed the audible whine when RGB is on. I had mine replaced twice because of this. Like you said, there is no whine when RGB is off and on breathing one color mode.

Kingston's support team told me it was normal, so no RMA was possible 😑

Ended up buying a Corsair keyboard. Frustrating.
