It's an LED matrix. It contains a 7x7 grid of RGB LED's which can run different animations that can also change in real time depending on your typing speed at the moment. It is configurable and can take custom animations as well if I am not mistaken, just like the LCD next to it which can accept foreground and background speed-changing GIF animations.

Do people want their keyboards to animate? My ZSA Voyager has a bunch of animations but I turned those off in the firmware. Distracting.

It's out of my eye line so it's fine in my case. I chose the QK101, less for those features, and more for the others such as its PCB + the fact that it is a heavy full sized.
