PRODUCT PICTORIAL & FEATURES (cont'd)

Observing the slim design, some of the keys like the Control, Alt and Windows keys were reduced. The laser printed lettering on the key caps is a little bigger than on your standard key board to allow the user to see the key labeling when the illumination is operating.

The keys are a little more flush to the keyboard surface and have the look, feel and sound of a laptop. Key pressing was crisp and precise with no sponge feel.

Following it's thin label, the keyboard measures in at a maximum thickness of 7/8". Now that is pretty thin seeing that is has a considerable amount of electronics inside.

The back of the keyboard is pretty well flush to keep the profile low. But there is one thing that I need to point out.

As you can see, there is no way you can adjust the keyboard angle for comfort. Thin or standard design, I would like this keyboard to have some way to adjust its angle. This could easily be incorporated into the next design or version and would add a little more value to the board. This is a premium board with a premium price. It should contain all the bells and whistles.

*Editor's Addition* I was told by Eluminx that anyone buying this board will receive rubber feet for height adjustment. The new revision will include built in height adjustment.

Ok, at about this time I bet you are tapping your toe and looking at your watch anticipating when I am actually going to bring the main defining feature, the illumination, to this review. Well, wait no more.
