Okay. I am looking for a lighted up keyboard. The problem is, is that i dont want a laptop keyboard, i want a regular one. Does anyone know any good sites for that. Thanks
 
Is the first link a real keyboard no just a laptop one though? just a few questions u might know, Does it have a on/off key, and i see it says that it has a ps/2 port. Can it still connect to my computer?
 
buy a cheap keyboard...take it apart. buy some lighted wire and run it under the keys (may have ot make grooves if buttons dont push down). takes a few dayz to make..but it looks good and its really cheap. thats how i did it for a friend. his is blue. you can also do diff colors and stuff like that...very customizable.
 
I came very very close to getting the EluminX luminescent keyboard after reading up on it. It seems to be a very well constucted keyboard and has the full number pad as well :)

I opted for the Logitech Cordless MX Duo instead :P
 
Just a wild idea here but do they make lit keyboards that have different colors for different sets of keys? :P
 
How about making a keyboard from a touch-screen TFT? Then not just the colours, but even the keys’ shape would be fully customizable. :D
 
Just joking... :D
But the touch-screen thing could be very useful in a multilingual environment - changing the keyboard layout would change the letters on the keys too...
 
And here comes the simple solution: paint the keys with phosphorescent paint, and you're set. No need for batteries and it works with cordless keyboards too. :D
 
Yes i've thought of that but phosphorescent paint doesnt work so well in extended dark operations (i.e., 30 hours nonstop dark kinda deal). Even though I'm not a fan of them bling bling keyboards I think i might get one as the place im moving to in the fall is in the basement and the first thing im doing is sealing the windows so there's not a trace of light :P
 
You can recharge that paint with a camera-flash (but with closed eyes, otherwise you won’t see a thing for a couple of minutes :eek:).
If you intend to block out the sun completely, then you might need to supply your own personal hardware with vitamin D in pills or beer (<- my choice :P).
 
LOL some of the keyboards are okay but they are typically extra-bright to accomodate a bright/non-pitch-black environment ... I cant find ones that use red (as to preserve nightvision) or a very dull blue.
