Why aren't there more glow in the dark keyboards for a more passive form of keyboard backlighting?
Why aren't there more glow in the dark keyboards for a more passive form of keyboard backlighting?
Is it because the glow would fade after a year or two? Even if it's not cost effective compared to adding to LEDs I thought it would be a novelty thing.
I did a quick search online and it doesn't seem very common. Mostly keyboard covers.

You know, sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.
I have a laptop without keyboard backlighting at home in the living room. I use one of those little USB light gizmos:
It casts a soft yellow glow on the keyboard that I find considerably less harsh than a backlit keyboard.
I mentioned an LED solution probably being cheaper because of things like that and the ThinkLight.
Like I said it's more the novelty aspect of it that I think people might like. Kind of like transparent shells/cases for devices.
I could see mainstream large companies like Apple and Microsoft not doing it because there are better solutions out there but I figured it would at least be more present in the hobbyist side of things at the very least.
