LED Keyboard by Luxeed

I try not to type on my computer in the dark since staring at a monitor all day long is bad enough for your eyes. In the dark your eyes have to strain even more! After reading about this cool new gadget from Korean electronics manufacturer, Luxeed, I might have to reevaluate my position.

For about $200 on ThinkGeek, you can pick up one of these Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard. Hooking up easily to your computer via a basic USB cable, you can change the color of your keyboard on a whim. Make it slime green, neon pink or red, white and blue! With over 430 LEDs, you have the power to change the color of every single key on your standard keyboard. Additional features include fun animation programs that moves a rainbow wave back and forth across the keypad. You can also make each key glow a little brighter each time your press down. You even have four "preset" buttons right on your keyboard (above the arrow keys) that allow you easy access to your favorite four "skins." Lights out until next time!
