Zippy, the New Illuminated Keyboard

Skull · Nov 8, 2003, 03:21 PM

Electro-luminescent (EL) backlit keyboards continue to attract LAN Party goers interest, but the cost until now has kept many away. Now, a new player enters the backlit keyboard market that beats frontrunner EluminX's price: the EL-715, which maker Zippy says puts a new twist on the EL keyboard concept. We put it through the test to see how it would stand up to the punishment of a gamer's pounding.

There is a little mistake that I noticed on the front page + in the post above.

The link - you missed out one of the ] brackets

should be Tomshardware

and you put [url=http://www.tomshardware.com/game/20031108/index.htmlTomshardware[/url]

just pointing it out - don't know if you can change it on the front page or not.

otherwise - looks quite cool
