I know I'm going to kick myself in the butt for this, but I am focusing on connecting companies together, so I'll give this one to anyone who deems it worthwhile. LED KEYBOARDS. They only have one or two types on eBay listed, and not many in numbers at all. Go to chinavision or DHgate, or any china site for that matter. They are selling the lit keyboards for 10 bucks! On eBay the cheapest is 30-35. I know someone can make a killing off of this if you make your ad correctly. I hope you guys capitalize on this, you wont have any competition from me, cause like I said I'm focusing on something a little different :). And yes of course if I notice anything else more, I'll let you know. In return I would hope anyone would do the same for others. What may not interest you may be something that someone else will jump on or have been looking for a while.

I was just looking at some of those the other day. I don't remember what site though. I want one for myself. If I can get some more stuff sold, I'd like to invest in them.

thanks for the tip Ben.

Yeah I looked closely at these myself. I think they would sell quite nicely but shipping is a little on the expensive side to the UK from China sadly.

The only ones I've found on dhgate didn't look that impressive. Just kind of a light blue light radiating from in between the cracks. I wish they had a picutre of it in the dark and or other colors. I've looked on e-bay only found one that sold and it was a namebrand one with a blacklight so I'm not really sure the demand would be.

Yea but the Idea is sound. If you can find a china supplier with a decent looking keyboard or if u buy one just to see and it passes in your eyes, then take your own pictures and sell the sucker :).

I'm thinking about buying one but the ones on dhgate look pretty cheap. Not cheap as in I don't think they will work but cheap as in the oldschool basic keyboard that had lights added.

no problem.....i know they did say there was a limit on how many clicks each key gets (or section of the keyboard) b4 the lights go dead.

i can't recall how many right now butI know it was in the thousands

Well thats not as big of a deal compared to the left-click button on your average computer mouse.

I kill keyboards fast anyways... I've gone through 6 or 8 of them in the last five years... 2 weren't my fault though. My kid dumped her sippy cup on the keyboard. Lets just say that Kool aid and keyboards don't mix :P

These keyboards look interesting. I do a lot of my work at night, and the house is dark when the kids go to bed around 8 or 9, so I type in the dark. Having a little light would be good. My main requirement for a keyboard is that it has a double-sized backspace key. I hate keyboards with the small backspace key.

I spilled a huge fruit smoothie not 2 minutes after making it all over my keyboard mainly in the num pad area. I was actually able to clean most of it up and my keyboard works fine. If you look down in the grooves you can see some strawberry colored stains but oh well I lucked out on that one.

Anyone use those flexible ergonomic keyboards? My friend has one and they are kind of cool you can spill anything on them and really it won't hurt them at all. I just don't like them because they are generally pretty small.
