Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

The Illuminated Keyboard is a super thin wired desktop keyboard from Logitech. Featuring LED backlighting, the keyboard has 4 levels of brightness, and can light up each individual key in a darkened room. With Logitech's proprietary PerfectStroke technology the Illuminated Keyboard provides a smooth key travel similar to a laptop, and makes typing almost silent.
