Xenix Illuminated Multimedia Keyboard

Model:  Xenix

Manufacturer:  Xenix

Introduction

 

 

Ever since the Eluminex Electroluminescent Keyboard hit the shelves, it’s been one of those items that you’d love to get, but the cost was too much. Lucky for us, we then got to check out a cheaper Illuminated Keyboard that was slightly better, providing the needed on/off switch and cost a third of what the Eluminex would cost. Today we’ll look at yet another addition to the illuminated keyboard – Multimedia buttons!

The Xenix keyboard came with a driver disk and a small user’s guide outlining the functions of the multimedia keys lining the top of the keyboard. There are 18 in all, 11 system functions and 7 audio functions. The multimedia keys are not illuminated however. My guess is that will be the next big addition to these keyboards! The key layout is a little cramped, and is identical to the last illuminated keyboard we reviewed. The layout and tactile feel of the keys is very similar to a laptop. Some of the keys, like Page up and Page down are pretty small, and will take some getting used to. The worst one for me is the Backspace key…it’s smaller than normal, so I sometimes end up hitting Home instead.
