Light Up Your Mundane Keyboard

It seems like everything is LED-lit these days. I’m giving it 6 months before there’s a LED shirt out on the market, if there already isn’t one. The computer keyboard is the next pieces of technology to get pimped out in LED form. ThinkGeek, has the Luxeed Dynamic Pixel LED Keyboard. I don’t know why they didn’t just call it Rainbow Brite Keyboard though. This LED lit keyboard is different than others of its kind. While most backlit keyboards are just one color, this model lets you change the color of the individual keys. So you can show off your favorite sports team’s colors, show your rainbow pride.

Key Features-

  • Amazing illuminated keyboard features 430 LEDs and can dynamically change the color of each key
  • Set each key to any color, or turn the light off on that key
  • Create custom illuminated key layouts and quickly switch between them with 4 preset buttons
  • Save key layouts on your hard drive and recall them later
  • Features animated rainbow effect, or animated random key colors
  • “Spark” mode allows keys to illuminate only when pressed
  • Keypad Connects to Keyboard with included cable
  • Keypad does not illuminate, only the full Keyboard
  • Standard USB connection
  • LED Keyboard

    Padlock That USB Drive

    We in America like to think we have a lock down on the useless crap category of things (the singing bass, Croc shoes, gigantic checks). One visit to Thanko and you’ll see that Japan is right there with us, if not already has us beat. Thanko can be a tough site to navigate, considering it’s written in Japanese. Luckily there are pretty pictures to go by, which is generally enough to find the greatest gadgets.

    Thanko’s newest addition is the Padlock USB drive. From a far away distance, the device looks like a mini electrical shaver but it’s actually a padlocked usb storage device. You want to make sure those pictures of your love affair with the landscaper stay secret? Then slap this padlock contraption onto your USB device and live worry free.

  • Guitar Hero Air

    Guitar Hero has pretty much been the hottest game out since its release. It’s been so hot that it spawned the release of a game called Rock Band, that added a few more instruments. Now a company called Red 5, has actually taken the series backward with their release of Guitar Hero Air…enjoy (at their expense)

  • I don’t think there’s a grandparent out there that doesn’t have a flashlight for their multiple trips to the bathroom during the night. Or for people that just happen to have bladder problems. Instead of having to carry around a clunky flashlight, X-treme Geek now has a pair of slippers to light up your or their path.

    The Brightfeet Lighted slippers have a LED light attached to the front of the slipper which illuminates your walkway. Now if you have to have a midnight snack, there’s no worries of running into a wall or tripping over toys in the floor. They are a perfect present for the elderly people in your life. Or if you’re like me, your buying them with the intent of showing them off to friends and family. The slippers are a little on the expensive side compared to others in the market at $39.95. But if you really want them X-treme Geek has them here.
