Rainbow Keyboard: Love It Or Leave It?

August 13, 2007

Most keyboards choose function over bells and whistles, but the Luxeed keyboard from Korea is all about a little extra pizazz. The white backlit model retails for approximately $127 and can light up in unique color combinations. A more simple black backlit version features black keys with letters and characters keys that change color. I think the added color would be distracting and make me avert my eyes to my keyboard instead of my screen, but there's no denying it's fun!

Nice, but who in the world would pay that much. On the 31st day of your ONLY 30 DAY warranty..that thing would break on you. And then what a lost it would be then.

don't get me wrong, I love colorful stuff, but not when I can buy non-colorful stuff for 100 dollars less, and plus, it does seem like it would be very distracting, and I don't like distractions when I'm trying to do stuff on my computer. *shoo's her cat away for now*

If this was cheaper and I owned a desktop I'd be all for it. I really like the toned done black version of it. Maybe because it reminds me of my PowerBook keyboard, but more fun. What I think is beneficial about the keyboard is that maybe for kids who are learning to type or older generations (like my mom), you can program the colors to coordinate with the fingers that are used for the keys. For example, the F, G, V, B, T, R, 4 and 5 keys can be purple and the like for the other fingers.
