Was just wondering does either one of these laptops have rgb keyboard? When I was searching up Asus A16 I saw comments under best buy saying it's just one color and it was just a white color. Wasn't sure if the F16 would be the same or actually have multiple colors you could choose from like I've seen on other gaming laptops.
