Wow, didn't think that would happen for a few years, considering it's a bit of a waste of a port to have a USB keyboard.....

Edit: coupon no longer works, and Xoxide are usually OK, but their shipping is usually steep.

I got one of the Abit MAX line mobos, either version 1 or 2 can't remember now and too lazy to look. Anyway, it has 10 USB connections and two firewire (along with sound and nic and other stuff) but no PS/2 or anything extra. Had to buy a logitech USB keyboard when I got the system but it was worth it, this thing was top of the line when I got it two years ago (aug 2002)

I didn't get the cathode.. But now I am wondering, is the CC integrated into it, or does it just sit underneath it?

 

[IagoCharon]

is there a way to turn off the CC with a switch or something, or is it always on?

CC doesn't come with the keyboard...

Got mine in the mail today. Ordered it with a red cathode... The cathode comes in another box and is just a regular old computer cathode. Not built into or for the keyboard in any way. I'm not too concerned because I'll gladly use it in my case but I think their advertizing is a little off on their site. I emailed them asking how they expected people to put them in their keyboards. I don't even know how I'd power it if it was in there... The red cathode is really damn bright btw, almost pinkish.

Got mine today-very fast shipping.
BUT, your right-very deceptive! :|
Cathode power wire is waaay too short. Anyone know if they make an extension?!?
I may resell the whole thing as it would be more expensive to return. Lame!

Hmm... yes it is true that the power wire is short... but.. since my PC is right next to my keyboard i had no problem.

I sliped my power cable under the pc, through the small hole that I made in the front of my pc... yes it's not that clean.. but.. my keyboard looks great with my blue light!

definitely, if there was a longer power wire or extension... it will make everything better..

The light gets pretty dimmed since the light goes through the whole keyboard.... the blue light doesn't hurt my eyes at all...

I wish i can post a picture of it... but no digi cam.
hehehe..anyways..l

the keyboard looks all fine to me...

over all.. i give 7 out of 10...


any other stories???
