Hi all

My keyboard on my laptop doesn't have backlights so when I'm using it in the dark I cannot see the keys.

I had s thought this evening , is there a such thing like a cover that can go over the keys that lights up so I can see the keys (maybe something like a see through plastic )

If there isn't , then I am wondering is there a light that I can attach to the laptop and shine on the keys

Thanks all

I would doubt the cover your describe exists. It would have to be built specific for every laptop and it would make typing painfully bad. But you could just get a USB light. Plug it into any usb socket and it'll light up. Something like this seems like a good and cheap option:

You shouldnt need to see the keys.

Learn to touch type, its invaluable in 2019.
