Recently I had an impulse buy at the local computer parts outlet, that has been a great asset, so I thought I'd let the KMA nation know about it... A backlit keyboard that allows you the freedom of using your PC in a dark enviroment. I chose the Saitek Backlit Keyboard and got it for about $50US w/o the optional programmable keypad seen at the left. I had first seen a similar keyboard several months ago, but they ran $100US, which I couldnt justify to spend on a keyboard. They do look damn cool though (look)

So think about it, alot better contrast for your monitor in a dark room, and easier on your eyes. Stay away from the really cheap ones though, look for one that has individually backlit keys, otherwise you may not be able to read every key in the dark.
