    well, i've tried out those flexible keyboards at the radioshack store. i would say insanely uncomfortable, but it can be annoying sometimes. it's because when you hit the keys, sometimes they don't go straight down, than kind of tilt/shift sideways. but it's still ok.

    and shipping depends on size and weight, plus going rates. so unless he weighed one of those keyboards, and saw what size of box it would fit into, it would be hard to tell.

    I don't intend to be a downer but the problem I see with clear keys is that I don't want to look at the stuffs underneath them... last time I cleaned my keyboard /me was scared... :eeek: horro show caffine museum and bugs trapped in amber under there..

    Why, that's just a programmer's lunch! Forget your lunch? Too busy/poor to go out for lunch? Just take a look at what's in your keyboard!! :D

    Would the black light up well w/ EL in there or something of that sort? To light up all of the keys? I'm thinking it would be an uber-pain in the arse to do LEDs under every key.

    ME ME ME :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I would make them so when you press them down, they lit up :D, costly but GOOD :D

    Keyboard Type : Daewoo 5530 KP GB PS/2

    If yo uhad a lack keyboard, lights and white or red letter son the keys, it would look cool :) It would be **** easy to make if you already have the equipment. Injection Mouling machine. akeyboard company could whip up a set of these bad boys in under a minute for less than a quid!!!!!!

    All we need is a petition to get one to make them :)

    I actually want to see just the letters transparent, this way when backlit the letters glow rather then the whole key!

    I like the transparent keys idea. I have an IBM Active Response keyboard to add to your list of models.

    If it would be possible, I would like the letters to be etched on the keys and not printed so it would light up more when LED'ed.
