I love this little light! I was hesitant to try it since I couldn't find any reviews about it, but I am very pleased with it's light output.
PROS:
*It's bright enough to read by. I compared it to another little USB light I bought on Amazon (the Ultra USB Notebook Light) which has only one bulb. That one give you a good little spotlight, but just in a focused spot, which might be good for lighting your keyboard. This light gives a good flood of light over the whole work area, and as I said, is strong enough to read by.
*The light is white and not blue like LEDs can be sometimes.
*I loved that you have the choice of powering it through the USB, or putting 3 AAA batteries in it to power it that way. I suspect you could also use a wall AC adapter, but I haven't tried that yet. I also don't yet know how long the batteries last.

CONS:
*The only problem with it is, even with batteries in it, it has a tendency to want to tip forward. To me that's not too big of a deal since I could readjust it's center of gravity (move the head around) and it would stop trying to tip. I suppose you could add a weight to the back to help this too.

Overall, I recommend this light if you want an inexpensive light that's pretty small, plugs into USB port, and has multiple uses thanks to the batteries so you can take it places (like camping).

I was surprised at the construction quality and brightness of the LEDs. But, as many reviews stated, the base is too light when you bend the gooseneck out (the gooseneck is very sturdy). Well, I peered inside with a flashlight and didn't see any exposed electrical fittings, so I poured small fishing shot into the hole where the battery cover tabs closed, Voila! Weighted the base perfectly. This is a really good price for a super little light.

I use this to light up my keyboard at night so I don't have to hunt for 'F' and 'J' (my fingers can't feel the bumps very well). It works great but, I agree with the base being too light.
I found that throwing a bunch of pennies inside the batter case works great - so long as you don't have batteries in there.
The USB cord is only about 3 feet but, it works great if you use an open front computer desk.
The construction is very hardy for an inexpensive little light and, it doesn't blind you in a completely dark room.

If you don't like a lot of flourecent light and keep it fairly dark in your PC area, this works great for a keyboard light on your desk. The base is way too light and it does tip over unless you don't position it just right. That is its only drawback (one star deduction) other than that I use it everyday and have no complaints. I also use it for a constant "on" for my office to provide a night light effect for exiting and entering the dark office area I work in as I am usually the first in and first out. It works great for that purpose as well. The cord is also a little short so plan on being fairly close to whatever USB power source you are gonna plug it in to. I haven't used the battery option yet but I can see where it would make a great travel light, depending on the battery life.

Perfect light for reading your keyboard at night so others will not be disturbed. Compact, lightweight, gooseneck so it can be adjusted at any angle, 15 LED bulbs for plenty of light. Comes with cable to plug into USB port or into USB AC adapter plug. An incredible value for little $ !

It provides enough light to type at night. Eats batteries fairly quickly though. Use rechargeables.

Mini desk light is nice. I use it on my desk to light up my computer key board. The light is bright. The desk light is easy to install, it only took me a minute to set up. I have it connected to the USB port of my computer so I did not need to buy batteries. It is priced right. Fast delivery I got it the next day.

I have a halogen desk light, but it generated too much heat. This light. despite 13 LEDs, is not bright enough to replace it. However, I place it directly above the manuscript that I have been editing, and it is great. It is bright enough that I do not need to turn the room light on.

It was great for a few weeks, nice bright light, then became very dim, even with a fresh set of batteries. Now it works brightly for a few minutes at best, then fades out. You get what you pay for...

The last LED lamp i got had a spring clamp and after 2 months, the pin slid out holding the spring in place.
That one is sold on here somewhere. Anyways...this one has more LED's and also takes [2] AAA batterys also.
The USB does not charge the batterys.
