(no subject)

enotsola got one o' dem dere backlit keyboards that does rainbow colors. His old (~12 years?) Logitech kb decided yesterday to simultaneously break its volume wheel thingy and to be "on" and lighting its single-color white backlight + mini LCD screen (possibly directly related to one another in terms of electrical connections) even when the computer was off (which is possible because it was plugged into one of those USB ports that lets you e.g. charge a phone even when shut down), and this combined with previous failure in the numpad area and yadda yadda was the straw to the camel, as it were. And, well, my jealousy knows some bounds, but it's tapping on the inside of them pretty insistently right now.
