Sunbeamtech Solar Illuminated Keyboard

Monday, March 13th, 2006 | Mice and Keyboards, News

The Sunbeamtech Solar illuminated keyboard was reviewed over at gideontech recently. The keyboard is designed with gamers in mind, mostly the people who go for LED lights and backlit keyboards, for LAN parties.
The keyboard itself is nothing to write home about with a standard set of keys with a few extra multimedia keys. Big bright blue LEDs replace the usual green ones for the different “lock” keys. The whole thing is backlit with a blue color. The keys do not show through any of the light, the keyboard itself is a gloss black and the keys are a greyish color.

The keyboard does what it is intended to do, but the setup is one of guesswork and fiddling around a little. The installation disk has no markings and there are no instructions included with it. If you just plugged it in you would loose the multimedia functions, if you don’t mind that, otherwise, fish around on the floppy disk and install the drivers for your operating system and you get access to the multimedia keys. These, as noted by the reviewer are not all available, there are some noted in the software that don’t appear on the board. Weird.

A functional board which does its job and looks quite good.
