If you are interested in getting things done vis-à-vis your music recording, you need to understand right away that there are some hardware elements that will help you and some that will not. Some people prefer to listen to their music playback in the dark following the theory that when they are not using their eyes for anything, their ears will be better tuned to picking out fine balance errors that they need to fix. Whether this theory is true or not is anyone's guess, but enough people feel the need to do this or something similar. An illuminated keyboard is definitely something that could come in handy as part of your overall hardware setup for music and audio recording.

Consider, for example, the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard. It is a design that actually lights up the different parts of the keyboard from underneath the keys and therefore allows them to shine through no matter how much ambient light is available in the room. Theoretically, the room could be totally dark including the lack of light from monitors that have been put in standby mode while the recording is being played back and you could still see exactly what you are typing. It is a very convenient keyboard for this purpose.

In addition to that, the keyboard is comfortable to the touch and has a design that accentuates functionality over everything else. Installing it is also easy, making the design user-friendly.
