  you can change the light show by pressing various key
combinations or you can use software to do it for you 
when the machine boots.  i decided to just use the key
presses and avoid having yet more packages installed.

  the light show i prefer for most typing is the one
which lights up the key just a little when it is 
pressed.  so it is not too bright as to be distracting
but it does provide some feedback.  you can adjust how
bright you want it to be in five increments.  i leave
it at one.  i rarely need to see all of the keys at 
one time.  when getting going for the day i have an id
and password so that is when i want all the keys visible
- after that it rarely matters, but it is easy enough to
change it back and forth.

  if you want to have some blinkin' lights you can put
on some nice effects when you press keys, at night it
can look like a Christmas tree.  :)  just to show someone.
i find it too distracting for normal operation.
