Backlit Keyboards

[ChrisUlrich]

I looked on Newegg but only found one. Are they labeled different than "backlit?" I want one for my computer because well, I need it. haha

Anyone know where to get one and what they usually cost? Looking for a regular black backlit keyboard.

A lot of the backlit keyboards are gaming boards. I found a few from Logitech, razer and MS. do you need anything special on this keyboard or is it just for seeing it in the dark?

I just picked up the MS sidewinder x4. I absolutely love it so far. Not too pricey for a backlit gaming keyboard, yet still has a lot of great features.

There are lots of backlit keyboards you can get them from places like bestbuy(not sure) or Amazon or ebay.
Like the Logitech G15,G19.
And also a lot of keyboards from Razer and Steel Series etc.

I should have specified I want wireless.

The G15 is ridiculous. $130?! That's nuts!

I haven't seen any wireless backlits before.

You could get a G13 or G15 cheaper on eBay. I like the first generation blue ones myself.

Wireless backlit doesn't make any sense as the backlight will drain the battery way too quickly.

Yea, that looks like a fair price. I like my current keyboard but at night it's a pain in the ass to see the damn keys!

 

[FuryRosewood]

yea, and the colors are switchable on that one as well.

I actually didn't think about the backlit keyboards killing batties. It can't be THAT bad though. I've been using the same batteries in my keyboard for months now and I am on this thing everyday.
