| mortalcoil's Full Review: Avision EluminX Illuminated Keyboard with BLACK Ba... |
A very cool-looking keyboard, certainly, and the illuminated keys are great for typing in the dark. Some might prefer keys with more action, but I find these perfectly comfortable for typing. It's very slim, and sits flat on your desk; there are no feet in the back to adjust the slope.
My biggest complaint with the Eluminx is that after several months of use, the keys on the extreme left became completely unreliable. These include Tab, 1, q, a and z. Sometimes they'd work, sometimes they wouldn't. Oddly, they could be made temporarily functional by shaking or tapping on the keyboard. Very strange. I emailed the company and got no reply.
Given that this is one of the more expensive keyboards on the market, I expected it to last a lot longer.
