These have been in the $60 to $100 range, but Xoxide.com has a lighted keyboard for $29.99 plus shipping. Their standard shipping isn't exactly cheap, expect to pay $8 to $10. This is a great keyboard for people like me, who want to sit in the dark at their computer and not have to turn their lights on to see their keyboard. I guess if I could type without making mistakes I wouldn't need a light. Besides a lighted keboard is the coolest looking modded device to go with your modded computer. I know I've got to have one. Oh, and while you're at Xoxide they have some cool cases you should check out.

Edit- Originally had listed this as a EluminX brand but as others have stated it is not that brand. SOme of the reviews I had seen on the EluminX complained about the noise the inverter made, and the lack of an on-off switch. Their more recently manufactured keyboards may have eliminated these problems. This model is significantly less expensive than the EluminX or Zippy models advertised. NewEgg lists a Zippy El-610 for $45.99 + $6 shipping.

Many thanks for providing the link to the review. Seems like a pretty good deal compared to existing prices of the Zippy and EluminX.

Blurb Zippy Slim

Personally, I like the layout of that a bit more.. I know someone with one and they look nice, esp with the dual USB hub inside it. Personally, I need a couple things: USB, slim keys/board, and a layout like a regular keyboard [with PgUp,PgDwn 6 key block and arrow keys in their own area].

"xoxide kills you on the shipping.. c'mon, 14 bucks for shipping for 4 quad led fans."

Yep, they wanted $8 and change to ship the keyboard to me, and based on their hours I would think they are on the East Coast, as am I. I hate when they want to make money on the shipping also.

heh, considering regular customers see a FBI warning halfway through the order process... I see that, it is a bit unnerving. Plus the $10 shipping... so I won't order this time.
 

Just a heads up, compgeeks still has'em and there's a code to sweeten the deal but it is truly is a novelty thing.
First, dont get the purple if you plan to really use it in the dark, its way too hard to see the keys, and second they layout is not that of a laptop. If it was, I would be sooooo happy. Its some screwed up layout that seems totally illogical. Delete under shift!!! It does have multimedia keys however.
