  FAQ:

  Q: Why do I need a lighted keyboard?

  A: Independent studies in the US have found that 63% of home desktop keyboard users work in low lighting conditions and 38% use a computer in the bedroom while someone else is sleeping. Think about the times when the lights were dim or out altogether because others were watching TV or someone was dozing on the couch and you needed to use the computer. How about the time when the lights were tuned down to avoid the glare on the computer screen? FireFly’s backlit keyboard helps eliminate typing errors and also reduce stress on the eyes when using the keyboard in low lighting.

  Q. Why is the FireFly Borealis keyboard the best choice for backlit keyboards?

  A: The FireFly Borealis is a high quality computer keyboard designed with and manufactured by the world leader in computer keyboard products.

  • It has an ultra slim design.

  • It incorporates the latest features and multimedia keys.

  • The soft touch scissor keys facilitate and accelerate typing input.

  • The backlighting technology is state of the art.

  • Consumer feedback has been overwhelming.

  Q: What makes the FireFly Borealis keyboard different?

  A: FireFly Borealis Keyboard provides for easy and convenient use of your computer keyboard in all lighting conditions. The FireFly keyboard incorporates LEC, a patented electroluminescent panel design as the lighting source. LEC includes a custom designed inverter that delivers power to the EL panel using proprietary technology that produces maximum and consistent brightness over a prolonged period. The keyboard also includes the use of patented scissor switch mechanisms that provide the precise, smooth and rapid keystroke demanded by today's computer user. In addition, the Borealis keyboard illumination emanates through the lettering on the keycaps unlike most other illuminated keyboards where the keys and not the letters are lit.

  Q: How does it compare to other keyboards?

  A: The FireFly keyboard is a full-function multimedia keyboard. In function and design it is among the best. What makes it unique - and a step above all the others - are the soft-touch scissor keys and a proprietary lighting source that truly makes it a one of a kind. The FireFly Borealis keyboard is ideal for use in any market in all lighting conditions.

  Q: How long does the light last?

  A: The life expectancy of the LEC EL panel coincides with the average life of a keyboard itself, which under normal use is three to four years.

  Q: Do I have to have all the lights out for it to work?

  A: Not at all. In office or room lighting, without keyboard illumination, the FireFly Borealis keyboard is a high quality, full function multimedia keyboard. When room lighting dims, simply press the “EL on-off” switch to light up the keys and you won’t miss a keystroke.

  Q: What is the warranty period?

  A: Twelve (12) months from the original ship date. Please refer to the warranty statement for further details.

  Q: I don't use hotkeys on my current keyboard, why should I use them on the Borealis keyboard?

  A: Hotkeys are actually preset function keys that make access to application software much easier than launching them using your mouse. Try using the most frequently used functions such as previous page, next page, launch email, etc. We know you will especially enjoy volume control dial for instant control of audio entertainment. Much easier than key-based shortcuts!

  Q: Does it work with all computers?

  A: FireFly is fully compatible with Windows based computers only.

  Q: Can I use it with a notebook computer?

  A: Yes, a lot of people do. Just plug it in to your USB port on your notebook and type away.

Q: Do I have to load the keyboard driver?
