Summary: I can SEE you now
Review: As an avid gamer, this keyboard was a dream come true. LAN parties and low/no light writers will love this keyboard. It ships without a PS2 to USB adapter, but those are relatively cheap (i got mine from cyberguys.com for 10 bucks) and it works just as well on USB as it does PS2. One thing i should mention, because of the Electroluminescent technology, Auravision has to use a tiny transformer to make the sheet glow. This transformer emits a low pitched "hum" as a result of it shaking 60 times per second (all transformers do this). Auravision told me that they are working on a solution to this problem. Depending on how adventurous you are, you can either try Akasa sound insulation (mainly used to quiet computer cases) to line the area inside the keyboard near the transformer (top left of the inside), try to tape/glue/seal the keyboard case, or in extreme cases, install a switch to turn off the light (there isnt one by standard).

Dont take me the wrong way and think that this hum is loud, when it isnt. With music playing, or even a video game, you will most likely not notice it. Only in dead silence or with your ear to the keyboard will you hear it. I mention it hear because in all my searching for reviews online, no one said anything about it.
