There are a number of illuminated keyboards out there on the market but this one caught our key due to some of its capabilities. With 430 LEDs the Luxeed is capable of individually lighting each key in your choice of color. The craziness doesn’t stop there as it also has a feature which allows you to display an ‘animated rainbow’ across all of the keys, or make each key light when you press it. You get four "preset" buttons above the arrow keys you can use to instantly choose between different customizable lit skin presets. Set-up a glowing skin for your favorite game with different colors to indicate each key action... or create illuminated patterns and designs. Hey, the Luxeed doesn't have a tiny screen on each key like the legendary Optimus Maximus, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
Pick your Luxeed flavor of black or white. The keys of the white Luxeed have a semi-transparent look and light up more brightly than the black. However the black Luxeed has a stylish treatment with only the letters being illuminated. Both keyboards look the best in dim lighting of course.
