Rigged for Red keyboard
 

I just realized, I should have put this over here as well.

Yea Ive seen those keyboards.

There popular also amongst the astronomy crowds.

I think there is even a laptop available with this feature.

ouch! 70 bucks!

Meh.. hes got money to burn. Id probably get one too not only for SH but other games I play in the dark.

I made a little rig of led lights above my keyboard on my desk. Powered by a 9V battery. Made from scrap parts and a few red led's. All told it cost me about $10.00 us. I let it run for a week straight one time and still had battery left.

Ive also made the red led flashlights for astronomy use. Similar to the ones that sell for 30 or 40 dollars for a few dollars.

I’ve been looking for something like this, my key board is in a shadow from the light and would love an illuminated version, and the multiple colors are great. Looks like a local shop I deal with has them for $49.00, amazon.com is good for these searches sometimes.

Thanks for the heads up!

I couldn't live without it anymore. I always play in the dark for the best monitor visuals, and I was always struggling to see the correct keys. Not anymore.

And the red color just goes perfect for sub sims. :smug:

$35.00 at NewEgg
 

Yeah, what the title says! Unless you're from the east side of the pond, or Australia, or some other locations, in which case I don't know what you'd have to pay.

I tried sticking some red Christmas bulbs in my keyboard to get the same effect. Bah humbug. :shifty:
