The keyboard looks nice and feels nice. I've used mine with a desktop unit and a laptop, but I find that my favorite way to use it is with my laptop on a table in front of me and the
eluminX resting in my lap. The
eluminX is very comfortable to use in this position and allows for typing and coding into the wee hours of the night, with its internal illumination. I find that the lack of adjustable feet (for height) can cause the
eluminX to be less than ideal if your computer desk doesn't have an adjustable keyboard tray. These adjustable feet are supposed to be an upcoming feature on future versions of the product, as is a USB version.
As for looks, if you're wanting to put together a killer LAN party box that looks just as slick and sinister as it plays, the elumiX looks the part. Meanwhile, the short-throw slimline full-size keys help the performance to match the looks. Bear in mind, however, that the lighting in the eluminX is not extremely bright. In well-lit conditions and daylight, the light may be imperceivable. In darkness or low-light conditions, the glow is quite useful and bright, illuminating the keys and allowing for good visibility of the location and labeling of the keys.
