A Register article discusses the Nite-Surfer keyboard, a conceptual, illuminated keyboard that uses a “state of the art material” to illuminate the keys of the keyboard without the use of LEDs or other light sources that can cause glare on the computer screen. If the keyboard is produced — distributors are currently being courted — the company expects the device will sell for US$50 to $150. While it’s unclear whether the keyboard will see the light of day — not to mention that the feature prototype is a Windows keyboard — it certainly offers an interesting look at what a next generation of keyboards may offer.
