Illuminated keyboards

I'm thinking of getting one, does anyone here use them and what do you think of them, any recommendations. A couple I read about said only the letters are illuminated, Id personally want all the keys illuminated if i was going to have one.

Another vote for the G15, especially rev 1

When they say 'just the letters are illuminated ' they usually mean that the symbol on the key is illuminated be it a letter,number,symbol etc., so every key on the board is lit.

The 'cheap' ones i've seen where the entire key is illuminated with a black letter or number on are horrible to look at imo.

Saitek Eclipse
Logitech G** range

Both very good illuminated keyboards

some of those look cool, i personally don't use one, but i may be swayed having just seen these.

I wrote a review on the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

I love it, I had to take some keys off and put some paper in between the contacts to make the keys more responsive but after doing that it's perfect.

Logitech G15, best keyboard i've used to date

G110 is like a G15 / G19 but without the unneeded LCD screen.

It has red/black/purple backlighting.

I've got one of those cheapy £10 illuminated keyboards, it's basically laptop sized with good keys. Excellent for night work, and feels sturdy. You can turn the light (led) on or off via the scroll lock button.

the eclipse looks to be part of the cyborg range (cyborg v5.0)

and in red

Razer Lycossa another alternative
