Pretty awesome! Only two things would have made this even better (or at least nerdier) - if it was a "delete" key, or the long-lost fabled "any" key I've been searching for since 1989.

Update: Oh. Well I at least get half of my wish. Presenting, the "Del" key: http://www.meritline.com/delete-keypress-lamp---p-42046.aspx

The nerd in me wants one... the wife glaring at me says no way in hell.

How much light does this actually put out?

@coyn0839: I personally do not know, but I would not expect much. Probably enough for it to illuminate and probably make the coffee table you sit it on light up (so you can see a book sitting next to it, etc), but I doubt the room itself will be lit up much.

Of course if I'm wrong, be sure to tell me all about it! =D

Hope it comes with a US plug instead of the overseas plug shown in the pics. I'm in for one -- worst case scenario, I can always rewire it. :-)

My biggest disappointment with this, however, is the lack of an ALT key option. They have CTRL, DELETE, ESC and SHIFT. I wanted to buy CTRL-ALT-DELETE for the office!

@bcrawford89: Your wife is glaring at you over $7? Ouch.

I love Meritline, great junk and super cheap most of the time

@brossow: If she's anything like my wife, it's not the $$, it's having another piece of geekdom around the house! ;-)

@coyn0839: I don't know how much light really, either, but I would have to say it's pretty minimal. It is noted as a night light and I believe operates much as those night lights for little kids (that woot sometimes sells) are. I've seen those before, and they're bright enough so that you know where they are, but pretty much illuminate nothing else.

@ednetman: Exactly! She thinks I have too much nerd crap as it is.

@mtrlgrl: You would cause all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Total protonic reversal.

If it was an F5 key, I'd get it just for wootoffs.
