I am sure msny of you have seen all these new fancy illuminated keyboards for your computer, however the keyboard on my laptop is on it's way out and i need a new one. I would really like one of these illuminated keyboards which fits my laptop, i.e. not external USB or whatever, just wondering if anyone can source these?

 

Thanks

haven't seen any illuminated keyboards recently, but apparently this http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/ was going to be released this year sometime.

I have the all singing and dancing Logitech G15 keyboard that is illuminated and has a LCD display to show all sorts of pedantic infomation about a PC and games. It costs around £45

Are these for laptops Simon or external keyboards? I would be more than interested if you can get one to fit my laptop :D

i know they do the usb and ps2 versions, and they also have the roll up keyboards im waiting on an enquiry reguarding laptop versions . however they would have to be manufacturer specific and made by them or a licensed company to build replacements.

 

i cant see it though however, i would say your looking at a standard replacement and and external backlit

The impression got when I was looking into it a while ago suggested £100-150

A lot of money for an illuminated keyboard, when you could just turn the light on to see what your typing. LOL ;)

that is cool
