Illuminated Keyboard

(1/2) > >>

whynotpizza:

Anyone recommendations?

Been reading about a number of brands out there and am not sure which one to go with.

I would like...
  Regular width keyboard (~18" or so wide)
  Illumination settings adjustable (if possible)
  USB ports on the back or side of the keyboard
  Tilt up legs would also be nice
  Corded is fine

I've rarely been happy with illuminated keyboards for a variety of reasons.

Logitech's Illuminated Keyboard looks very good. I don't like it because it's nothing like my NewTouch (similar to their Wave). Based on the description, it has everything you're looking for.

Others, that might not quite fit into your needs include:

Think Geek has a number of illuminated keyboards starting with that insane piece of crap hype machine from the eighth circle of Hell, the Optimus Maximus Keyboard selling for a cool $1,600, to the dying Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard or a mismatched Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard.

There's the Glowtype by GrandTech. Interestingly, Think Geek sells a similar one but it doesn't illuminated? Hhmm.... oh well.

I have a Logitech G15, and while it looks cool I don't really like the feel of the keys. Hard to describe, but they just have a very dead, not "clicky" feel. I have the blue one, I think the new one is orange which doesn't really appeal to me.

I'm thinking about replacing it with a Saitek Eclipse II or III. They have a dimmer and you can choose the illumination color.
