I had a lighted mini keyboard which I really liked. It is USB connection.
Does anyone know of one that is not USB, and where to purchase it?
Lighted one that is.

im not sure if you can get light up ps2 ones because it draws the power for the light over usb.

That's true, you need the USB to supply the power to light the Kbd.

pdnmusic:
It was a Zippy.

Man & His Music:
That's the one I did have. All of a sudden it just wouldn't work on either of my systems. But it worked on other systems. I was trying to see if there was one that was not usb.
Thanks for responses.

the USB zippy keyboard works perfectly with a $2.00 usb to ps-2 adaptor...

That's what I use now... the light is electro luminecent film... it doesn't use any power...... you could run that light for a year on a 9 volt battery....


get the zippy off ebay.. cheapest, and best lighted mini in my humble opinion...

only thing is.....

zippys are extremely sensitive to liquid spills.... a single drop won't affect a regular keyboard, but it can put a zippy out of commission until it's dry......

always keep an extra keyboard in the trailer...

Yep really do like the zippy keyboard. However the adapter will not work for me. Tried it on 3 systems.

ive gone through 2 of these zippy keyboards just cause they got knocked off of the dj stand!!

theyre good for the fact that they light up so you can see them in a dimly lit club, and good for the fact that theyre small.

but ive found an even smaller kayboard. its not lit up, but this one is usb and i can use it with just my thumbs, like a mobile phone.

its available at maplin
