Is it because the glow would fade after a year or two? Even if it’s not cost effective compared to adding to LEDs I thought it would be a novelty thing.

I did a quick search online and it doesn’t seem very common. Mostly keyboard covers.

    Wouldn’t the glow also fade over the course of a night? Brightness controlled LED’s seems to be the better more consistent solution.

      Of course on both accounts. I imagine it would gradually fade out over the course of around an hour or so.

      I mentioned it in my post and another comment but I thought it would have been an occasional novelty you would see online. Maybe in an weird Ali Express device.

      I’m not certain OP understands how GITD works, or that you could do translucent keycaps at a reduced brightness 😬

        I know it fades. I’m not talking about bringing back the radium girls here.

        What do you think I am misunderstanding?
