Title: Illuminated Keyboards
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 23 July 2009, 12:51:13

I fancy an illuminated key Board.  found Some Saitek and logitech ones so far.

Am starting to sway towards a gaming one now that I have seen them.

Anyone got an illuminated KB. 

Any thoughts?

You can allways tell when I am typing at night with the mistakes.

Room lights are allways out at night and not enough light from the screen.


If I had the chance on lighting I reckon it would be green for the illumination.

I have the Saitek Cyborg (bottom pic) I don't really like it though.

If cost isn't an issue definatly go for the new Logitech G19.  :y

If cost is an issue, the G15 or G11 look good.

Few more to look at:

Razer Tarantula
Razer Lycosa

Or in the cheaper end, Saitek Eclipse III

I was going to say cost was not an issue.  then I looked up the g19 and saw the other bits.

Microsoft Reclusa lights up and is a nice keyboard, not too bad on price either, around £40 i think

Those Keyboards are amazing, I didn't even mention that as even if cost isn't an issue, you still can't affort one!! hehe  ;)

If they just sold these at a reasonable price they would sell like hot cakes!!

I did have a saitek keyboard until it was killed by my kids dropping stuff into/onto it.
I have their cyborg mouse at present and its good stuff :y :y

If I had any of the stuff above I would have to have it itemised on an insurance policy.
Am into gadgets like most people but some of thepricing is ridiculous.

Saying that I bought a Saitek cordless joystick years ago and the quality is fantastic.
