By hitting the FN key and the arrow up and down keys you can change the intensity of the LED lights across the board. I noticed immediately that at the top settings, the backlighting was more consistent and brighter than the previous generation DUCKY 2 boards.

Ducky have included a wealth of lighting options accessible by the FN and F10 keys. These are all explained in detail in the manual and include the Wave Marquee, Snake Marquee, Reactive, Aurora and Ripple modes.
The effects of these Ripple, Wave Marquee and Aurora lighting modes can be made slower and faster, by pressing the FN with the left and right arrows.
You can disable the lighting completely, if you wish.

The spacebar has a full LED lighting mode, and by adjusting the FN and Insert/Home keys, you can adjust the colours. In conjunction with the FN key – The Insert key adjusts the red brightness. The Home key the Green brightness, and the PgUp key, the Blue brightness.
I just wanted to say thank you for this highly informative review. Awesome.
Great write up, but I did find one small error. You said that whites have the same actuation force as greens – this is incorrect. They have an actuation force of 65g, not 80g, but you were right about the click being more quiet than both blue and green.
