What do you get when you put together lights and a slim keyboard? Something really screwed up and sloppy. Thankfully, Bytecc has their EL lighted keyboards that take the guess work out of keyboard light mods!

<B>Typing</B>:

Yes, a keyboard of this size takes some getting used to, but once you do, it should be fine. If you have large fingers, I would recommend staying away from this. The keyboard size is slightly smaller than my laptop keyboard. And that means the keys themselves are smaller as well. Watch out for numlock, when I was typing, I couldn't figure out why it was typing numbers when I was hitting 'I', damn numlock! The other problem was that if I used the elevated legs, the keyboard wouldn't really stay still, the feet weren't touching enough for it to keep still, a minor annoyance, but one nonetheless.

<B>Lights</B>:

<center>Normal Light Dark Lighted Keys</center>

The keyboard really shines in full lighting and darkness. This is really a dream if you have poor lighting, again, presenters should get one of these. The light given off is a blue color, and is very easy on the eyes. The light is placed behind the keys and is then filtered through. It gives the keyboard a very nice effect that won't blind you. And if you don't need the light, just turn the feature off. My Dad really liked the look of the keyboard, as did my Mom.

<B>Conclusion</B>:

With a keyboard this small, you can use it in a number of places that a normal size keyboard would not fit. Presenters would love this keyboard for its lighted keys, and it would look great in the kitchen (although a wireless one would rock!). The lighted keys really make the unit shine, and if you need a small wired keyboard, look no further. It is around $55, at Frys or Microcenter. If you don't have one of them around you, <a href="http://coolerexpress.com">Coolerexpress</a> should have them soon. I'd like to thank <A HREF="http://www.byteccusa.com">Steven at Bytecc</A> for making this review possible.
