Similar to cell phone keys which are back lighted.
Sometimes I work on my PC in the dark (like now). it would be good to have a keyboard with the keys light up, instead of depending on light from the monitor.
...maybe i should work on why I feel the need to work in the dark.

Yes, this could be very handy. However, I found that working in the dark helps me to keep myself from looking at the keys, and therefore becoming less dependant on them. However, many people don't use the computer enough to know where the keys are. I know this is already baked on some keyboards, but a crossaint for the trouble. |

| |
Or, if you didn't want to buy a new keyboard, someone could make a set of stickers to put over your keycaps that glow with the addition of a little blacklight. |

I'm fairly sure it's bad for your eyes to use a computer in the dark. |
|
| |
Baked? They're not back lighted but a lot of laptops come with small lights above the screen specifically so you can seen the keyboard (the IBM T20 springs to mind) |
|
| |
The Nite Surfer has a laptop verison as well. Looks quite useful. |
|
| |
This one's a frequent repeat here. |
|
| |
I'll say this is pretty baked. |
|
| |
With just a screwdriver, some EL light stripping (see link), a little time and ingenuity you can make your keys lighted. |
|
| |
The lighted keys concept could be extended to individually lighted keys under computer control. I claim this would have a niche market in instructional uses. Consider a computer with audio output and a keyboard lighted in this sense. Picture a preliterate user using the system to learn literacy and the computer together. |
