I got this idea from c!rYx's post in here (http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29427&perpage=15&pagenumber=3). I think it would be interesting if you guy could post pics of your different keyboards from all around the world. I am from the USA but I have a Hong Kong keyboard that is really tight, I can post a pic of that.

my dad owns a blank keyboard; it's full but has not letters on, someone gave it to him for fun - HP uses them to test ergonomic(is that how you call it?) hands positions.
don't know how i can get the pic though - do digital camera

Just paint all your keys white or black if you have a black keyboard. I've had frieds do that to like thier laptops and stuff. It keeps *******es away from your computer. :)

i want to illuminate all the printings of the characters on my keyboard. I may go over all of them with one of those glow in the dark pens.

I don't have a digi-cam so I can't take a shot of my keyboard, but it is a crappy generic brand of the standard US keyboard ;)

Of course you are a geek if you code after midnight, that's why the site is called <B>thinkgeek</B>.com ;)
I'm proud to be a geek, but I gotta say, if I had a luminated keyboard, I could easily eliminate typos by putting my fingers on the wrong row because it is pitch black. I may know my keyboard, but in the dark, it is hard to place my hands on my keyboard in the right place to begin with ;)

That is very expensive... but still - it's an amazing Keyboard, I wish they had an ergo (spelling) one though, that's what I use and I love it!

I am not a fan of those keyboards. It's like gaming on a laptop. The keys just aren't clicky.
Also, if you want to light your keyboard up real easily then just go to google and search for keyboard mod or keyboard mods with el wire or something like that. You can do it pretty easily and all you do to power it is soder it to your scroll lock key. Note: I wouldn't do this to a wireless keyboard because your batteries will go bye-bye.

I don't play PC games, I hate clicky keyboards (including my own), and I am nocturnal. That keyboard was made for me!!!!!
