Lighted USB Keyboard - Gentle crisp clear BLUE LED light illuminates each key yet stress free to your eyes - Full size Multimedia functions, One-touch internet access

This lighted USB keyboard is working great for me. It is a little smaller than the normal keyboard which I needed. I am still getting used to the smaller backspace key (I sometimes hit the HOME key next to it).The light is optional with the button right on top. Sometimes I need and use the light, sometimes I don't.

I run a lot of things that just require occasional atention in an often dimly lit room and the sfot blue glow from this keyboard is just what the Doctor ordered. It's even visible in a fully lit room but totally unobtrusive at night beacause the viewing angle is set up perfectly for when you're typing, if you're off to the side you can just notice that it's lit.The color tone is the perfect wavelength, not the harsh blue that most blue LEDs give off - it's actually very pleasing to the eyes. Just one example of what rarely happens thee days - the engineers were really thinking about the customer when they designed it.Tocuh/feel and overall height of the keys is very good, the only complaint I have goes towards all the newer keyboards no matter who makes them - I liked it when they had a big backspace key I could easily wham at as I make a lot of mistakes when I try to type in a hurry. No matter, a little program available for free "on the net" called "Sharp Keys" allows you remap keys in seconds, I usually completely turn off the cAPS lOCK key as well as the Insert and Delete keys I just don't use - they're left over frokm the DOS and terminal days.

Any decent review should have two sides to its' story. When this keyboard arrived, I was delighted to learn that I did not have to deal with any special software in order to install it. On the down side, however, I learned that it requires a USB port. Since I was already using all the USB ports on the back of my computer, I was forced to use a port on the front, which means I now have a rather unsightly wire floppying around on the front of my computer all the time. But that is the least of my problems!True to its' description, the keyboard lights up nicely in blue making it very easy to find an odd key in a darkened room. I have a vision problem, so I needed a lighted keyboard badly. Here is the rub! Leave it to the Chinese not to design the keyboard in the USUAL formet!The Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down, and End key are in a straight row up and down! None of them are where you EXPECT them to be when you are touch-typing. If you hunt-and-peck, I suppose this arrangement would not pose a problem, but it plays total havoc when you are accustomed to striking a key by touch only, and I assume MOST of us fall into that category. Why would the Chinese take it upon themselves to change the layout of a standard keyboad? I would estimate that I normally type around 70wpm or so, but this rather insane arrangement of the keys has slowed me down to perhaps 20 wpm. I find that I am constantly striking the wrong key, then having to stop and LOOK at the keyboard, then FIND the right key and correct my error.If they had stuck with the conventional keyboard arrangement, the product would be a delight....but at this point, I cannot recommend that anyone else buy it unless you are a hunter-pecker typist. I like the overall "feel" of the keyboard; it is very quiet and has its' good points. I wish they had thought to add a dimming feature to the keyboard. At times, the blue lights are a bit too bright. On a scale of 1 to 10, I am afraid I can only rate it a three. Why can't this producT BE MADE IN AMERICA .....AND MADE CORRECTLY?

I don't really feel the need to criticize the keyboard since it is, and does, everything the manufacturers say, but I'm back to Amazon today to buy a different lighted keyboard and I'll keep this one for emergencies. First, the positives. The keyboard is sleek and visually appealing. I love the blue back-lighting. It would probably be a good keyboard to take along for use with a laptop, and that may have been the intent because the condensed keyboard is laid out like a laptop keyboard. That, unfortunately, is also part of the problem. The layout of the keys makes it difficult for me to use, with keys like the backspace, which I use a lot, surrounded by other small keys such as Home & End, which sends your cursor all over the page when you hit them by mistake. It's probably not the best keyboard for people who do a lot of typing. In fact, I plugged in my old keyboard to write this review. For the price, I am not displeased, and it will be a good standby in case I need it, but for long-term use, a different keyboard is probably a better choice.

The keyboard looks great and works fine for me. I don't really mind the little change in the layout, especially with the back space. The light was very very nice and fit the decor really well. I wish I would have purchased this one for my home instead of the expensive logitech one. I got this one for work and it seems fine so far.

I hooked-up this keyboard and within 15 minutes I knew it was going back.My wife and I both disliked the feel of the keyboard and size/response of the keys. And, the real killer was the "c" key. It would accept the key and many times it would just ignore it. I had to constantly check my typing and find the words with the missing "c". If you pressed it hard enough, then the letter would appear. I found myself banging on the letter so hard that it totally disrupted my typing session. Not worth the money - even if it's backlit (a real plus IF it had worked).So it gets 2 stars for the backlit option. Maybe yours won't have the problem with the letter c.Tony

I love this keyboard & if I had to complain about anything at all it would just be that the keys are pretty loud when pressed & it needs a longer cord. The keys I can't do anything about, but the cord length was easy. I bought a USB extension & problem solved. The back light is very bright yet easy on your eyes. I use this keyboard with my PS3 slim & Fatty & it works perfectly.
