What a great idea. I've never seen that before. It would certainly help eliminate those late night pressing full flaps down (f8) instead of bringing up FSNavigator (f9). :)

Gag! I would go and order one now IF it was a standard layout (e.g. with arrow keys, "insert-home-pageup-delete-end-pagedown" block in the middle and a proper number pad on the right!I do too much key based editing to try and use one of those 'spacesaver' keyboards!Has anyone seen a full size illuminated board out there?i.e. in this layout...http://www.william-rogers.com/gallery/fineArt/Keyboard.jpg

>Hello,>>I was looking at buying one of these before- should be cool to>play games with lights out and found some at www.directron.com>in Houston. Search for "lighted keyboards". The price ranges>from $23 to $65 (approx). I just never got around to ordering>one.I bought a lighted keyboard from Directron, model EL-715, to use when "flying" in the dark. The keyboard has the right amount of lighting and the keys have a great feel and response. The problem is that the space bar gives one space about 60% of the time, two spaces 35% of the time and no space 5% of the time. I have to go back and edit everything I type. Also the caps lock light doesn't (more retyping) and the scroll lock doesn't work either. This keyboard is made in China and has the same keyboard layout as shown in the original post.

Just a side note, my keyboard is USB. So I have two keyboards going. One for most of my typing etc. and the small glowing one for gaming.HuggsKittiex:)~

I have this keyboard and highly recommend it for flight sim and RTS games that don't require a lot of key strokes. The keys are laptop keys, so I don't use it for writing - I have an ergonomic one for that. It really makes flying at night with all the lights off a hoot.

OK Guy's, heres the link, and YES it's a lap top kind of style / layout, and the be honest, I LOVE it, I just seem to get through my e-mail replies so much faster now as the keys seem to be orientated in a much more natural way, I have never had this kind of keyboard before and wish I had of done this ages ago.I always had a standard ''say good bye to you're desktop'' keyboard, compared to a standard one this is much smaller, but even more functional to me.oh, and the illumination is spot on,it's just right and makes FS seem great at night with the lights off,and medal of honor allied assault too,much more pleasing/relaxing to the eye.you still have ALL the usual keys, but with the benefit of a host of extra keys at the top such as home,e-mail,forward,back (for IE) and find,redo,windows explorer,stop, vol up/down,mute,CD stop track,next track,prev track,skip fwd/back, my computer,and of course the Sleep key which I have set up in XP Pro as a Shut Down key.hope this helps, and remember it's only

I bought some Xenix illuminated keyboard looks exactly like that. I think they are a copy of some more known brand that
