I need a new keyboard and Im looking at one of the backlit ones, is the feature good or annoying?
|
|
Got a link to one? That sounds kinda neat. |
|
|
|
Looks like it would be annoying. Cool looking at first but after a few minutes of use I bet it would be irritating.
|
|
I recently got this one. And I love it. It lights the letters/numbers and not like alot of others that use EL for the entire key.
|
|
I still have the Logisys, I got the Saitek. Looks better and a better all around pleasure to use.
|
|
$50 dollars Good Lawd that alot of money! |
|
|
Its that much better than that Logisys. I can tell you that much. 2 different lvls of lighting, audio controls and well, its sweet. |
||
|
Does it hold up well? I treat my equipment like I treat myself, beat the living shit out of it |
|||
|
about 90% of the time Im on this computer is at night, only light is my speaker on light on the speakers and the monitor, would be easier to see it |
|
|
Damn that is sweet! what kind of media keys does it have? volume/pause/mute/fwd/rev? |
|
|
I got one for my kid (don't remember which brand it was). He's a gamer and he loves it.
My 15" PowerBook with backlit keyboard is the cats ass. |
|
I hate the media keys, I ripped them things out with the needlenose pliers they pissed me off so bad, I kept hitting them on accident, one would shut down my system |
||
|
So far so good.... |
|
|
Saitek isnt designed for media use. Its a gamers KB cause well, its gamers gaming witht he lights off. Only "media" keys it has are mute and vol up/down. |
||
|
That is ROUGH on your eyes. You should have some backlighting |
||
|
Take it and smack the side of the case with it a few times then throw it across the room, thats my typical use. |
||
|
Damn.. WTF man? |
|||
|
My thoughts exactly. Learn to type and you'll never have to look down at your keyboard. |
|
|
If they made a media version, i'd be all over it. but i do more than just play games with my computer. |
|
|
I have problems with expressing anger and this thing likes to be a POS sometimes |
||||
|
Hey, in the middle of the action when your webcam porn loses connectivity you'd react aggresively too...... |
||||
|
When it actually gets into production. This will be an AWESOME multi media KB.
|
|
Rightclick + save target as. |
|||||
|
Well I got one, set me back $40 Seems worth it |
|
|
Its a nice KB. You get the blue or red? |
||
|
Only had blue, I wanted red, but only ones I could find was online and about $70 |
|||
|
Yeah, red is more expensive for some reason. Oh well. $60 online |
|
|
Ah, THERE it is! Yep! When I get my next desktop computer, I'm getting one of those! |
|
|
The first lighted keyboard I had was the translucent
membrane kind , and the damn letters wore off it in a few months Now that I've finally learned where the keys are , I type with the keyboard on the shelf under the desk . So a lighted one is a moot point . |
|
|
that Saitek one is on sale at BestBuy for $40 |
|
|
That would come in very handy for showing up the snack crumbs and pet hair in my keyboard.
|
|
Sweet, Thanks Taxman. Oh sweetheart, I have something to add to the Christmas list. |
||
|
uber cool technogadgets taggit! |
|
|
But is it red, or blue only? |
||
|
red is $10 - $20 more |
|||
|
This one is the one I have. No backlighting, but it pwnz.
|
|
We got plenty of those at work, well they require more force on some keys since they are worn out, as for the writing it wore off. |
|
|
I have the same one. High quality feel to it, and the light is just enough to see but not too bright to distract you. You can use it in total darkness or in bright light just as easily. |
|
|
I got one of the "Gamer" satiek keyboards for christmas used it not even a week and gave it to my sister. The light sucks Cuz I asked for it so that when I was playing a game I would type faster (Yeah I know look at keys.. blah blah) thing wouldnt give me enough light. now I'm using the regular dell keyboard but would like to get a wirless one soon ETA: this one looks new thought the one I got the buttons were all solid and just the backlight no light to it. |
|||
|
That has got to bee the coolest keyboard ever invented. Whats the street price? Waiting for wireless backlit keyboard myself... |
||
|
|
|
NO street price yet as its not in production and wont be for awhile. But expect it to probably be between $150 and $200. |
|||
|
Holy Shit! that looks like it will cost a fortune! but I will need to get one. |
