Hack the Scroll Lock key and turn an ordinary keyboard into a brightly lit one for under $5. It may be ugly but it's an easy project that works great especially for black keyboards.

Pretty nifty hack, a lot of people can type without looking at the keyboard.
I guess the majority who watch this can't :P

I added a cold cathode tube plugged into my PC (the ones normally used to mod cases) under the desk, just above the slideout keyboard tray. Bit less fuss.

- That's a good idea...
I used to have a cheapy LED light strip above mine but they finally blew out one by one.

- scroll lock
im curious what the (bleeped) does a scroll lock key do???
By cartuner55 1213391011 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove9127823 - 2
- I think....
I believe before the scroll wheel was invented it had something to do with scrolling using NUM pad. That was back in the day with Windows xx / 3.x....you knw the old stuff! ;)

It's just a bright idea, I've been punching the keyboard for so lo.....ng, but never tought of this. Keep it up.
By sancakaz 1212680252 Reply Spam [+6] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- Works...
much better on black keyboards. I didn't have a spare black one but the idea works the same. Thanks

i like it, simple and clever. Like your old style videos more. your voice makes it like a cool commercial thing lol thats what makes you unique.

When Reading the title I thought you were going to illuminate it from under the keys (although I guess it doesn't help you see any better), but that would still be cool.
By suggens 1212342271 Reply Spam [+5] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- Yeah...
My exact thoughts too...but that was thinking the keys were transparent so the light would pass through them..nevertheless I can type without looking at the keyboard very well, so even if it were under the keys and simply illuminating the edges, it could be of some help...I think!

Avery neat concept, geeky, yes! But in a good way.

KK you are getting good at the hacks !! Very efficent was to light the key board. Maybe you can light the key board with the extra power from the phone. PC20

I did this trick with my old keyboard I wasn't using a long time ago. The only thing is that 2 LEDs cost €2,99 in my local shop.Mmmm...I was just thinking to make a flashlight using only LEDs. you know a small handy flashlight that you can put on your keyring or you can put a chain on it and strap the chain to your new DIESEL jeans.But I don't realy knoe how to begin and how to make it...what battery should I use.. because it sounds like it is pretty simble to make... could you please make a quick video on how to make a flashligh please and uploadid to your website... I would realy apprecite that. Okay...I am ready for your next vid KipKay...Kep up the good work...

By twattyhead 1213046170 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
This gives me a great idea actually , because i have an wireless keyboard , and some kinda hub where , when i for example turn caps on , a tiny light goes on there , i might solder some leds on that .
By Pulses 1213041961 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
this really isnt a "hack" but its cool. I bought a keyboard that lights up, its really cool. Its called the Eclipse II
By 5647382910 1213040855 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
Seems to be a lot of work though when you can just go out and buy a small light, the kind that you can bend towards the keyboard. Anyway nice video!

By offhisrocker! 1220214637 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
I suggest you should put some leds INSIDE the keyboard, so the empty space around buttons would be lighty!

Love your stuff—when I saw that you were from Makezine I finally understood why you're so damn good! Anyway, you can improve this hack by using another piece of wire (I'd go with something like a few strands of floral wire twisted together since they're meant to be stiff, yet flexible) in each heat-shrink tube to give the L.E.D. stalks a bit more rigidity, then anchor it with some hot melt glue or perhaps some epoxy on the underside of the keyboard near the hole.
