Yeah, exactly โ youโre describing a real category of products ๐
Theyโre usually called:
๐น Keyboard lights / USB keyboard lamps
Small lights that:
- Plug into a USB port
- Bend toward your keyboard
- Light up keys in the dark
๐น Why they exist
People struggle with keyboards because:
- Low lighting ๐ถ๏ธ
- Poor eyesight ๐๏ธ
- Non-backlit keyboards ๐ป
So instead of changing the keyboard, this is a cheap fix
๐น Types youโll see
- USB LED flexible lamp
- Very cheap
- Plug into PC or power bank
- Adjustable neck
- Clip-on monitor light
- Sits on top of screen
- Lights entire desk
- Backlit keyboard (built-in solution)
- Best but expensive upgrade
๐น Your situation (interesting part)
Since youโre into DIY + electronics ๐
You can literally make one:
- Small LED strip
- USB cable (5V)
- Switch (optional)
- Mount it above keyboard
๐ Cost: โน50โโน150 max
๐น Smart upgrade idea
You could even:

If you want, I can design a simple DIY keyboard light circuit using USB โ super easy, no coding needed.
