The new FireFly Lighted Keyboard uses patented Electro-Luminescent (EL) technology to produce a soft glow that highlights the keyboard's lettering and alleviates eyestrain common among computer users. This keyboard is being introduced at CeBIT, the world's largest computer trade show, in Hannover, Germany, March 18-24th, 2004. The FireFly Keyboard will be on display at IC INTRACOM's exhibit located at Hall 16, Stand C06.

"The FireFly Keyboard offers advantages not found in earlier lighted keyboards or more recent knock-off products that may violate the FireFly patent," said Ben Zupan, Director of Global Marketing for IC INTRACOM. "Under normal use, the Electro-Luminescence has a lifetime of 20 years and features a convenient on/off switch. The FireFly offers a better experience for home-office workers, college students, PC gamers, LAN party enthusiasts, graphic artists, case modders and others."

The FireFly Lighted Keyboard features a slim form factor, full size keys with precise and quiet key action. The patented Sapphire Blue Electro Luminescence is ideal for low-light and nighttime environments. The FireFly's 104 key layout includes translucent key caps and 17 Multimedia keys. The FireFly is fully compatible with hahahahahahas ME, hahahahahahas 98SE, hahahahahahas 2000 and hahahahahahas XP.

I've seen the knock-offs in China Town for about $10 a piece. Nice idea but the glowing light would be an eye-sore for me when I type at night. Probably just use it to look cool

Glad they added an on,off button for it.

HammerALL · 04-19-2004, 08:50 AM

That's really cool - can't believe they didn't think of it sooner

They should add an adjustment button too ... from light glow to piercing eyeballs

You'd think with all the people and brains at Microsoft they would have done this already.
