Product Reviews
- CNET: “…the most advanced backlighting we've seen in a keyboard. A motion detector on the front edge senses whether there's a body in front of it. If you're not there, the lights go off. Further, a built-in ambient light sensor detects the light level in the room and adjusts the intensity of the soft white backlighting accordingly.”
