Luxeed LED Keyboard, the Poor Man’s Optimus Maximus

Not everyone has $1,500 to squander on a colorful keyboard with OLED keys, that is why there exists a market for cheaper products like the Luxeed. Make no mistake, this is no cheap keyboard. It has 430 LEDs that allow you to customize the color of each key; as long as you aren’t using a Mac or Linux based system.
