Well, actually, it was a keyboard malfunction that killed my Saitek Illuminated (blue) board. I really liked it because the back lit blue color looked very cool. However, when it died my urge for instant gratification kicked in and I went down to my local Office Depot store to see what they had. What they had was a terrific Logitec Illuminated board and the white illumination is easily 200% brighter than my old board. Much more practical for these old eyes. I like it a lot.
