iRocks Electron Luminescence Keyboard

[rogerg]

Hey all,

A bit of useful info for those using computers in the dark: I just bought myself a i-Rocks Electron Illuminescence Keyboard. The thing is brilliant!

It glows blue (a soft glow) behind the keyboard. The light has a convenient easy to find on/off switch. The keyboard is surrounded by a chrome strip which makes it easy to find in the dark when the keyboard is not illuminated.

Solid construction, slim design not wasting any space but providing a full sized arrangement of keys. Very nice to type with.

The num lock/caps lock/scroll lock lights are a little bright, I might put tape over them, not sure yet.

I got mine from www.mrgadget.com.au (http://www.mrgadget.com.au) , prompt delivery (orderred it friday and it arrived today - in WA!). Cost me $79 including postage.

There are cheaper illuminated keyboards out there, but I found they were either big and bulky, didn't have an on/off switch for the light or had some other downside. www.citysoftware.com.au (http://www.citysoftware.com.au) has it cheaper ($60+postage) but 10-15 day wait.

Very happy :D

Sounds very nice Roger - does it come with a rythym chaser compatibility? :D add a dork smith strobe light and wouldnt that set the neigbours talking
seriously that is a very neat idea - thanks for that :)

I have to admit that it appeals to the geek inside me :) and hence you have to wonder about such things as rythym chaser capability :)

But I'll leave the strobe light out of this one, not so good for the CCD :lol:

Darren, sorry for the late reply - I hadn't checked this thread for new posts... That definitely is my keyboard... using it right now.

Still very happy with it, after several nights of use now.

:)
