Re: Illuminated Keyboard
Is that cordless? If so I'm wondering how long would the batteries last? Have you got a link to it Alan? Looks a bit bright to me but then a certain person doesnt like my keyboard since she is used to a standard layout and my MS on is a split keyboard lol

Re: Illuminated Keyboard
I've got one of these, which looks like it's made by the same people. very happy with it too, the keys look the same, they're kind of like laptop keys. It also looks very cool illuminated!!

Re: Illuminated Keyboard
I just wanted a small keyboard to use with my laptop (a couple of sticky keys) and the one above was the best value - and happened to be illuminated! I was dubious at first too, but it does look quite nice!

According to Maplin, for the following reason -
"Ever tried typing on your keyboard in the dark? Most of have when playing games or surfing the Web, and itâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s not easy in a dark or dimly lit room. "

Re: Illuminated Keyboard
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy a light?

What if the computers in the bedroom and your Partner can't sleep with the light on? If they can tollerate the computer being on this would be ideal

The monitor is also a light source as well.
