The Little Keyboard That Can: Auravision EluminX

Out To Change The Keyboard By Adding Backlighting, Continued

Slim and compact, it also takes up little space. For example, the EluminX takes up half the amount of space compared to a standard-sized keyboard.

The keys themselves are a bit different as well compared to standard keyboards. Firstly, they are much quieter. So if you are always up late typing (as I usually am), you will not disturb anyone as you pound away at your keyboard.

The keys also give off enough light to read papers that are nearby.

Adding room or office light is unnecessary, which could reduce eyestrain. All these things added together make it the ideal keyboard for a college student, or for someone who regularly works from home until the wee hours of the morning.

This angle offers a better idea of the keyboard's thickness and tilt angle.

Like standard keyboards, the EluminX is composed of plastic. The keyboard measures 16 ½" wide, 6 ¼" deep, with a thickness of ¾", rendering it as much as half of the size of standard keyboards. However, while the key layout generally follows the QWERTY key layout, users with bigger hands, however, might find the keyboard cramped.

The key travel is good, but somewhat stiff at first. However, after some use, it did improve and some of the stiffness went away.

The EluminX largely feels like a typical large notebook-style keyboard, except it is tilted. The tilt offers a better feel over the long haul when compared to typing on the typical notebook keyboard. However, the angle of the tilt cannot be adjusted, which might be a drawback to some who prefer a higher keyboard tilt angle.

Any sort of flex is limited. The lack of flex in the middle of the keyboard is important for the gamers who prefer a stiffer feel in the middle of the keyboard.
