That literally has gimmick all over it.

G-I-M-M-I-C-K.

At least this is somewhat useful.

W00t!!!

Now if only they'd make it in the old skool layout, so I won't have to change all my keybinds for Quake 3...

Lapzilla (the new PowerBook G4) has a backlit keyboard that automatically adjusts the light level to suit the darkness of the room. It's very slick.

Ohh yeah. That backlighting only lasts for 3000 hours and costs over a hundred dollars. No thanks. I think I'll stick with my wireless keyboard and mouse thank you very much.

How would that keyboard benefit me? The computer monitor is bright enough in the dark as is.

Yeah, for real. You could get the same effect with some UV-reflective paint and a 12V black light.

I think it'd be disorienting not to feel some kind of "pressure" when you press the keys. No for me.
