I have an absolutely appropriate reason for wanting a lit keyboard... A) I type a lot in the dark and it's nice being able to see the keys. 2) I game in the dark and sometimes lose my WSAD place, it's nice to be able to sense the light and quickly know where my hand should go. C) I think the effects of the keys splashing as you type is amazingly cool and 4) It's a novelty that, to me, is a pretty cool accent to your set up.
