    I'm not sure how many lights you can have on wireless keyboards as they are battery powered which would see you having to replace the batteries more often.

    What exactly are you looking for? Something with back lighting? Something more than the Caps lock light?

    very nice, looked on ebay. they are about the 60 sterling on there. Is that a good price?

    G15 is around the 70 sterling. Didn't look at the usual irish websites yet, are they around the same?

    Still have sterling on my paypal account so would prefer that but if they are a lot cheaper else where..

    how long are the wires on these? My rig is quite strangely placed due to kids.

    If I'm not mistaken, the wire is around 1.5m long. I paid for it last year around 130 quid. If you do get it, try to take care of the touchpad which controls the media player. if you touch it too hard, spill something on it, let dust make a home of it, it will feck it up. My touchpad is knackered, but the keyboard itself is very robust (still) after a year of abuse due to "spirited" gaming :pac:

    But then you'd get wax under the keys.

    Was this because I said lights instead of illuminated? If so: english is not my first language
