Like VanguardLH said, freakin' useless eye candy!
I replaced mine with an all white UNLIT one the 
first time it packed up.

Speakin of keyboards I treated my desktop to a gaming 
DURGOD which is superb EXCEPT for one thing, it's nearly
impossibpe to hit BIOS setup by holding down the damm
'Del' key (mobo is Asus Crosshair-IV). I thought once 
that the issue had been cleared by using either usb2 
or usb3 (forget which) but it hadn't!  

Note the reasonably sized not bold but black lettering:

Note the idiotic minuscule AND grey lettering:
