I've been looking around but cant seem to find a full size keyboard that is backlit. CompUSA has one that is just a bit bigger than a laptop kb...but I want a regular size (read: good for gaming).
Does anyone know of such an animal?
I really like the look and weight of the apple keyboards, but they wont work with a pc, and i cant find one that is anything close.
thanks!

All of those models are smaller than a normal keyboard...if only by a few inches...the arrow keys are crammed into the normal keyboard layout, making the Enter key, shift key, space bar all smaller.
I'm looking for a kb that has the arrow keys set under the Insert/Home/Delete/End (etc) keys...with standard size keys (preferrably a large enter key...which is becoming rare these days).
thanks!

Well, you could always mod your own by using neon wire like Warlock did for his case.

Warlock, if you had put some wire mesh between the neon wire and the metal frame of your case, it would've been fine. Gotta love Faraday.
