I received this little light for Christmas. I love it. It is just enough light. I am an iMac user and it plugs right into the side of my keyboard. The blue-white light is very pleasing. I do not use it with a laptop but instead it augments the light at my desk. I highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor ergonomics make this a looser!, December 29, 2003

While this is a good looking product it has a fatal design flaw. The edge of the light has a piece of plastic that is visible from the side. The problem is that even when the light is pointed down at the keyboard you'll see the bright edge of the light and no matter how you position it the glare is bliding in low light situations (which is the only time you need the damned thing). A piece of electric tape will solve the problem but I'd suggest you look at another model.

This review is from: Kensington 62645 Flylight Platinum-Colored Portable USB Light (PC/Mac) (Personal Computers)

I love my FlyLight because it does one thing really well--it casts a bright narrow beam of white light on my laptop keyboard. The Flylight is solidly constructed of three simple segments: a solid state blue-white LED light, a sturdy gooseneck and a USB plug. Don't want to disturb your spouse but can't see the keyboard in the dark? Simply plug the FlyLight into any USB port and it comes on instantly. A switch would be the first thing to go bad, so Kensington wisely does away with it. The gooseneck is long enough to snake around the biggest laptop screen but still holds the shape into which you twist it. With my WiFi setup, I love to hang out by the outside fireplace on starry nights catching up on e-mail or downloading and listening to my favorite tunes. The Flylight's bright narrow beam doesn't bother my sleeping wife, facilitating late night computing in bed. Finally, it's cool-looking, functional, well-designed and well-executed. Worth every penny I paid for it.
