Illuminated Keyboard:Get yourself one of these, people!

I got this for christmas from my wife.
I told her about it months ago and she hid it
away from me, I had long forgotten about it.
You can get them from Jaycar, I think they are
about $55.00

I gave it the first try last night...they are brilliant.
Selectable Red or Blue illuminated keys.
Brightness adjustable also.

Red or Blue light also shines out of either end
fairly brightly...so it will illuminate quite a bit of
deskspace, which, for me, is very handy in the
dome.

Perfect for us astro-geeks, now I want another one when
I'm inside, processing my pics at 2am with the bedroom lights
off!

PS : not affilliated with Jaycar BTW!

Steve

i wouldnt be without my illuminated keyboard, had it for a few years now

if you're really geeky (like me) theres the Logitech G-15 keyboard that is really good, its the only one so far that has survived a glass of iced coffee spilled all over it and still worked perfectly
