I have to say Simon, it is pretty cool, I couldn't do it, as I watch my fingers when I type (I have big hands and fingers and make a LOTof typos!). I love the idea of a backlit keyboard, tres chic! There is a laser keyboard available that projects the keyboard on a flat surface (ThinkGeek.com), but my IT nephew says they don't work well enough to spend the money. Now you could paint every other one white for a checkerboard look....
