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.

Sounds very nice Roger - does it come with a rythym chaser compatibility? 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

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.



Roger.
