Getting lights reflecting off your glasses? Can't see the keys for yesterday's lunch? Last week's munchies? The vegetation growing up between them? Throw out that mouldy oldie, and get one of these illuminated ones. In the upper right corner of it, there's a cute little button marked 'LED Illumination'. Push it once to change to the next color (Blue, Red, or Passionate Purple!) and push it down and hold it for three seconds to shut off the lights entirely, and go back to your squinting. Now, if it only had a dimmer control to tone down the intensity of these LEDs, and maybe one choice of color being white or pale yellow, then it would be very close to perfect for us older and weaker-eyed senior bloggers, and all you younger ones too.
"So, is this expensive?" you ask. No, not really. It was $45.79 Canadian including taxes and recycling fee. You can get cheaper ones, but they won't have keys that light up in red or blue or passionate purple.... and speaking of cheaper ones, there's some really cheap ones out there now, and the one that I tried works like a charm - so no one has to use a dirty keyboard these days, if you can find fifteen or twenty bucks. And even these cheap ones now will install their own drivers without any urging from you. Just plug it in and start using it.
