Lighting not distracting (sm)
Lighting is not bright enough to be distracting. It has a dimmer switch with it and I always have it up as high as will go. I actually wish it was brighter. The light glows through the white letters on the black keys and you can see the glow between the keys, but it is very subtle. There are also two strips on the side edges of the keyboard that give off the color you selected. It is a heavy keyboard, so it stays put. Cord is in the middle rather than to the left or right.
Yesterday I reached for the ringing phone over the keyboard and across my desk, the wire to my headphones caught on the glass of water I had there and of course it knocked over the glass and a very significant amount of water went in the keyboard. I immediately flipped the board over while cursing the freakin' phone call that turned out to be a wrong number. No ill-effects from the flooded keyboard.
As for those cordless ones, I have never bought one because they are too $$$ and I go through keyboards way too fast to be spending that kind of money. I have had a cordless mouse. It lasted a couple of weeks before I ditched it.
stay off the internet - it is too distracting
work in small increments of time

Can you disable the lighting on this if you find it distracting? nm

I know how you feel. Working at home can be distracting, just having other things on our minds (sm)
like dirty dishes in the sink, piling up laundry, a bed right across the hall to take a nap in. What works for me is tune everything out including internet distractions and e-mails, phone calls. No more than a 10 minute break every couple of hours, 30 minutes lunch time and just hit those keys. The end result can be pretty rewarding.
