EluminX Illuminated Keyboard

In the ever-changing computer industry we are finally getting cool and fun things all the time like windows for our PC and assorted lights to help make things not as boring looking. But one thing I have always wanted is a lighted keyboard. Many I talked to about it also wanted one. Most of us surf the net or play games in the dark and therefore a lighted keyboard is needed. But the bad thing is, none were to be found. Until now! Introducing the EluminX Illuminated Keyboard.

From EluminX:

The EluminX Illuminated Keyboard is a computer keyboard with internal luminescence or lighting - the first commercially available computer keyboard that remains totally visible even in dark or low-lit workspaces.

EluminX was designed for both consumers and business professionals. The perfect solution for late night web surfers, gamers, and computer users.
