iRocks Electron Luminescence Keyboard

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 , 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 has it cheaper ($60+postage) but 10-15 day wait.

Very happy

Roger.
