typing in the dark

well, it\'s listed among the options in the initial post but I don\'t really find it faster nor easier than the thumb-board. It takes up screen space and it\'s not really ergonomic if you type longer texts (uneven load on the hands). Thanks for the suggestion though :wink:

Maybe using fibre optics with an LED would make it more convenient

Speaking of fiber optics, I wonder if you could get one end inside the case and pickup off the screen\'s light instead of running an LED?
