Aug 7 2008Luxeed Colorful Keyboards Now Available
We heard about the Luxeed Dyamic Keyboard a year ago, and now the rainbow peripherals are finally available, for $200. You can choose between a black model on which only the letters are illuminated, or a white one that has the entire keys light up. Every board has 430 LEDs and you can program each individual key's color and make lighting animations. Sure, you could use the thing for Photoshop shortcuts or colored gaming keys, but let's be honest -- this board is strictly for showing off. I mean, who doesn't want to be the first in the office with a rainbow keyboard? Unfortunately, it looks like The Superficial Writer beat me to it. Hey buddy, see you got the Luxeed, very cool. And....pink. Ha -- now that you mention it, it does match your skirt. And....dude is that blush?
Hit the jump for a video of the board in action.

The dudes home row typing is horrid.

Interesting. I'd go for the black with the light up characters. I don't know about the 'lighting while typing' part since I type 99wpm+ (maxed at 125) and that'd be an insane light show!

....ok everybody ready?? all together now... lets give guate6 a round of applause. congradulations guate6 . with your typing ability, you have achieved little to nothing and deserve only minimal recognition! on with the light show!!

Do the twenty batteries it takes to run those last from paycheck to paycheck?

@9 types 99+ WPM and I type 99 - WPM. If I watched him type it would probably be like watching Mary Hart.

Tacky or not I want it.
18. guate6 - August 7, 2008 3:35 PM
#10: aww, thanks!
Not sure you quite got my point though. I wasn't necessarily bragging about the typing speed...many people type that fast and faster. My point was that there'd be quite a trippy light show that would have been involved with a typing speed of 99wpm. In any case, thanks for the recognition and pseudoprize.

no, really. that things amazing, but honestly. they just got lazy and decided that putting LED's into the spacebar would be too much work?!
