Glowing Keyboard Stickers

A keyboard with glowing keys or a backlit keyboard might be an ideal choice for those who always work in low light conditions. But if your current keyboard is still working fine and you want to save money on something else, the Glowing Keyboard Stickers will come in very handy.  Glowing Keyboard Stickers provide very inexpensive keyboard illumination for your computer. Although you might say that you’re familiar with your keys and you don’t need it, you still do glance down for various tasks. Maybe to find a few shortcuts that you’re not familiar with.

First of all, the Glowing Keyboard Stickers do not really glow. Since the words are made from florescent print, they reflect any light, no matter how faint, that is currently available in the room. So, if you are looking for something that really glows, you may want to consider other products. However, the letters are clear and bright enough to be read.

The keyboard stickers are also carefully cut into standard keyboard sizes so that you can stick it easily to your keys. It can be easily removed using a pair of tweezers to remove them from the backing and apply them to the keys. If you did not apply it properly for the first time, it can be easily peeled off without leaving any residue and apply it again. In the case of non-standard keys, you can easily cut the keyboard stickers and apply it nicely. The most important thing while applying these stickers is to be patient as it will be time consuming. At just under $10, with these glowing keyboard stickers, your keyboard functions just like a backlit keyboard.

I have always wondered why computer keyboards has the keyboard layout it does, i.e. QWERTY instead of being in alphabetical order (if anyone knows please enlighten me).  Well the Fast Finger keyboard gives you up to three options as to how you would like the keys on the keyboard to be arranged.  Firstly, by selecting the ‘ABC’ button on the keyboard the keys can be used in alphabetical order; secondly, deselecting the ‘ABC’ button brings the Fast Finger keyboard back to the standard QWERTY keyboard; thirdly, selecting the ‘F’ key enables Instant Messaging (IM) abbreviations such as “lol” to be used by the function keys.
