Wouldn't it be nice if the keyboard was to completely light up?

How would you feel to have a computer, where all the keys on the keyboard lights up? It would be great to be able to see what you are typing at night. Do they even have an product as this?

I'd love a lit keyboard but this might be a little too much for me. I was thinking of a keyboard that had the letters and numbers highlighted. Still it's nice to know someone is producing it!

I think that would be nice. So that, it was quite easy to see the keys even though it's dark. I wonder, if there are actually this kind of keyboard available in the market. I'm sure everybody will love it, if there's one.

Hi there cream my friend. That would sure make a nice product for those of us who sometimes are lazy to get up and turn on the light (myself included sometimes :D)

Yes, it would be a nice product for those of us whom are lazy, and don't like getting up to disturb someone out of their sleep, or to turn the light on themselves.

That would be great. I've always dreamed of having a transparent keyboard with back light illumination. It would be easier to work with such keyboard even during night time without the aid of external light. I've seen a transparent type keyboard but have no idea if a keyboard that illuminates actually exists. Hope it'll soon be available.

Yes, it would be.. They said that this has been invented.. If so, they need to hurry up and send it over to America.. We need it here!

I have seen them advertsed on tv with a mouse that also lights up. You can turn on the light feature or leave it off. I don't know the address or phone number but I do know they are out there.

That would really be nice at least even if you don't open your light you can still see what you are hitting on the keyboard. But I still have not seen this kind of keyboard in the market. Perhaps in other countries like Japan, they already have this kind of keyboard.

Yes, because a lighted keyboars all the time can hurt your eyes, or something like that.

Oh, I'm sure they do have such a product. I'm so glad that I can type without looking at the keyboard. It just makes typing so much easier AND fun! Believe it or not I love to type. I love it when my hands whip all over the keyboard. It's a great feeling. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

It may not good for typing as the light shows some bad effect on our eyes. Do you observe, some optical mouses glitters very high in night. I think it wasn't a good idea.

It may not be such a bad idea to have, but if it poses a risk with the eyesight, then no..

Yes, I agree, when selecting products to see as this, it is wise to be cautious about the coloring.. I agree..

At first I bought a mouse with trasparent colour. When I found it was more glittering to my eyes, I changed it to a regular optical mouse which doesn't had a heavy light. Just take a look at a single lighting LED. You can't. Now think about 108 Keys that posses light. May be more glittering. I am sorry.

That's a great idea cream. Keys on the keyboard should have a light so that we can see it even when the lights are off.

There are some laptops which have this feature. My brother-in-law's Dell laptop has a backlit keyboard which is excellent for use in the dark. The lights are soft and dont hurt the eye.

considering the computer is in the bedroom and the husband has the annoying habit of turning off the light when he's going to bed even if I'm still typing, I can see how this would be a great idea!

That would be interestingly. Especially interestingly has the keyboard with touch pad keys. Otherwise so far I have used the small bulb 12V small powers,whenever I have been in the dark.

It would look like a lighted keypad of our mobile phones. I guess it would be nice to have that kind of keyboard invented. Plus the fact that it would save energy because you need not to open the room light when typing anymore.
