I need a good keyboard (I do not play games though), but with 4 additional buttons: volume up/down, sound off (critically important) and sleep (or a programmable button I can use for this purpose). It also needs to have LED lighting of different colors.

Logitech G213 is good, but it is a membrane keyboard and I want a mechanical one.

There are great old mechanical keyboards with all the buttons I need, but they do not have lighting.

Please recommend me a keyboard with such features.

Thank you!

Has the media keys you need + some more. Also, all are programmable from iCUE software.
Different price is due to different key switch type. Also, white KB is another option you can have.

In my household, i have:
Corsair Strafe RGB with Cherry MX Silent switches (now EOL),
Corsair Strafe RGB Mk.II with Cherry MX Silent switches (also EOL) and
Corsair K100 RGB with Corsair OPX switches (probably way too expensive for you).

iCUE software, while a bit complex to learn, is actually very versatile and you can create plethora of macros, compared to just rebinding the keys. And same level of customizability extends to the light show as well.
