Illuminated keyboard
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Illuminated keyboard
Anyone have the link to purchase one?
Can't seem to find the previous post.
Grey: Isn't that a tad expensive for a keyboard with nothing on the keys?
Just take a knife to your existing one and save $79.99
or a black paintbrish.
Be careful about getting a cheap illuminated keyboard, lots of reviews i read said they gave off a wierd humming noise.
Sorry, but I prefer this one

Weird humming noise comes from the elctro-luminescent material used to generate the light. The hum is the same frequency as the instability in the power supply to the keyboard (usually 50 or 60Hz).
Seriously though, do you need a bling bling keyboard? You press keys, letters appear on the screen. Who needs more than that?
That optimus keyboard is great.
I've got an illuminated keyboard. Well, actually it's a small shrubbery that used to be a keyboard before being reincarnated into a higher form. It's actually the second illuminated keyboard that I've bought this year; I can't use the first one anymore because it's now a minor buddha in the celestial court. It's my own stupid fault really - I paid extra to buy a keyboard with the best illumination in the hope that it would last longer only to find that the worse the illumination, the longer it would last.
I've got an iluminati keyboard, it controls everything in the house yet knowbody knows ...
i really dont get whats so cool about not bothering to label the keys.
As I spend a lot of time typing in the dark, my Saitek Eclipse is the bees knees :)

Oh but I can see so many possible uses for this one... multi user inputs... switching from multiple countries (including Asian) on one keyboard... a keyboard saver (like a screen saver with 104+ little billboard windows...)

THIS IS THE ONE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
I'm still waiting for someone to put the
OLED keyboard into production.
Ok, so we've found the most elite keyboard... But what about the most elite mouse to acompany it?

lol Smart arse.
*chuckle* :P
Most elite mouse is surely the
Logitech G7.
nah... I want MORE bells and whistles than that... wasn't there a 3D mothin sense space that was supposed to replace the mouse?
Actually I usually use a Wacom tablet:

I've seen a PC mouse being sold where the mouse buttons where shaped like ears, and the whole mouse (including cable, the tail!) was hairy!
Meh. Mice are overrated - can't be doing with all that moving your hand around lark. :P I have one of these babies on my dev machine:

Just requires slight movement of the thumb to zip around the screen. Probably not the best choice for playing FPS games, though.
