The HP EliteBook series notebooks contain a similar keyboard light called HP Night Light. Unlike the ThinkLight, it is activated by a physical button next to the Night Light, rather than a keyboard shortcut. Third-parties offered external LED-based illumination solutions for the HP 200LX series of DOS palmtop computers in the late 1990s. [4] [5]

An LED-backlit LCD is a liquid-crystal display that uses LEDs for backlighting instead of traditional cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting. [1] LED-backlit displays use the same TFT LCD ( thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display ) technologies as CCFL-backlit LCDs, but offer a variety of advantages over them.
This style of keyboard has been met with a poor reception. John Dvorak wrote that it was "associated with $99 el cheapo computers". [4] The keys on ZX Spectrum computers are "rubber dome keys" which were sometimes described as "dead flesh", [5] while the feel of the IBM PCjr's chiclet keyboard was reportedly compared to "massaging fruit cake".
