I bought a fancy Redragon keyboard last year and liked it so much that I immediately bought a second one and hooked it up to my work computer. This is not the first keyboard I've purchased that has back lighting, but it's the first one I've purchased that came with software where you can program what the lights do. I think there are like 40 presets and 35 of them are obnoxious but a few of them are pretty cool. On my main PC I have all the letters set to blue and all the others set to yellow. The one connected to my work computer looks like the Matrix with flashing, flowing, and glowing green lights. Live a little.
Here's my problem with the keyboard. More often than not when my hands fall onto the keys, they're falling in the wrong spot. By simply touch typing, I almost always end up typing gibberish until I visually get my fingers set. It's weird. The keyboard on my laptop is physically smaller than a regular keyboard, and my brain can make that adjustment. I can't tell what's different about this one. it's like it's millimeters smaller or something... enough that you can't determine it visually, but the fingers know.
I agree that changing a keyboard or even a desktop wallpaper can change the entire look and feel of a computer. It's a good way to get out of a rut.
