Similar to cell phone keys which are back lighted. Sometimes I work on my PC in the dark (like now). it would be good to have a keyboard with the keys light up, instead of depending on light from the monitor. ...maybe i should work on why I feel the need to work in the dark.-- senatorjam, Jul 16 2002 Nite Surfer (Sic) http://home.att.net...rfer/ProductPic.jpgBaked!

See [link]-- [ sctld ], Jul 16 2002 Or, if you didn't want to buy a new keyboard, someone could make a set of stickers to put over your keycaps that glow with the addition of a little blacklight.-- jtgd, Jul 16 2002 I'm fairly sure it's bad for your eyes to use a computer in the dark.-- pottedstu, Jul 16 2002 Baked? They're not back lighted but a lot of laptops come with small lights above the screen specifically so you can seen the keyboard (the IBM T20 springs to mind)-- namaste, Jul 16 2002 The Nite Surfer has a laptop verison as well. Looks quite useful.-- [ sctld ], Jul 16 2002 This one's a frequent repeat here.-- waugsqueke, Jul 16 2002 I'll say this is pretty baked.
With just a screwdriver, some EL light stripping (see link), a little time and ingenuity you can make your keys lighted.-- Severian, Jul 17 2002 The lighted keys concept could be extended to individually lighted keys under computer control. I claim this would have a niche market in instructional uses. Consider a computer with audio output and a keyboard lighted in this sense. Picture a preliterate user using the system to learn literacy and the computer together.-- astar, Nov 30 2002 [admin: see links #3 and #4; click on "link" to create links, don't paste them into annotations] this is a lit keyboard that doesnt hurt your eyes-- Xenocryst, Apr 25 2003 To mahatma who posted a link to a page about an Apple Mac G4:
