Wireless Backlit Keyboard

by cdanblack Aug 9, 2007 7:55AM PDT

Does anyone know of a good quality wireless backlit keyboard? Where not just media or extra keys are lit, but the QWERTY keys are illuminated as well? I'm looking for something for an HTPC setup.

Thank you.

Probably not. . .

Can you imagine the power requirements for such? How big a battery would it need?

MS Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000

This board'll be out in September. The CNET review I link to below has done a good job of outlining the pros and cons, and the MS Hardware link below has a nice interactive multimedia demo of the board's features.

Seems like it'll be perfect for HTPC use, though the price certainly has some kick to it (I wish they'd offer it without the mouse bundled in for $50-$75 less).
