Saitek PK17U Cyborg Gaming Keyboard rocks the infinitely adjustable backlighting

saitek_cyborg_keyboard.jpg

We’ve tested all of Saitek’s backlit keyboards, and laud their excellent touch response and attractive, helpful illumination. Now the company’s outdone itself with the Saitek PK17U Cyborg Gaming Keyboard. This baby reaches to a new level of backlighting coolness, giving you control of not only the intensity of its three colors, but the ability to mix them together into hues no staid designer would dare choose.

You can also set it up to independently light up commonly-used gaming keys, and if you tend to bang away at that game all night long, there are metal-plated keycaps on those gaming keys that can withstand even the most spirited pounding. You can also program it for multiple rapid key presses, letting you shoot faster than any human ever could. Here's a bonus pic:

The keyboard's fully-programmable custom preferences are saved for your next re-boot, too. Nice job, Saitek. This is a lot of keyboard for $79.99, now available for pre-order from Amazon.

I would like a simple black keyboard, sleek, smooth, and with a nice glossy finish (maybe similar to the DiNove Edge but without the gray wrist wrest part) that is wireless, and has RED backlit LEDS. I have looked, and looked, and looked, and highly considered trying to mod one up myself, but at the end of the day, my modding kung-fu is week. Any suggestions?
