Introduction
A
while back, we review the high-tech EluminX Keyboard
and were impressed with its stunning looks and innovative high quality design.
There were a couple of drawbacks such as its price tag and the
exclusion of an on/off button. Knowing that a similar product would be
available soon after, we began searching for an alternative for those on a
budget that hopefully would include an on/off switch. Well, we found
one available at Eagle Computer. How does it compare to the EluminX?
Let's find out!
Packaging

The
keyboard comes in a very plain white box that contains no logos or labels of
any kind. The keyboard itself also does not contain any logos or labels.
A very generic product indeed.

Quick Comparison
**click to enlarge**
Before we take a closer look at this keyboard,
let's do a quick comparison against the EluminX. The first thing
you'll notice is that this keyboard is significantly smaller in overall size than the EluminX yet is still manages to have all 106 keys! Another thing you'll
quickly notice is the color of the keys. They are white and not as clear
like the ones found on the EluminX. We'll see how it affects the
lighting of the keys a bit later.
