Not the product described
The product pictured is very small (maybe 3 inches when stretched straight) and only works at all if your USB ports are on the side of your laptop. It has only ONE bulb (not 2 as in the description) and shines very little light. Only when I attached it to a USB extension and hung it over the top of the screen could I get it to shine on most of the keys. The written descriptions are for other products that have a clip part with a battery to let you use if for a book, 2 bulbs, etc. The pictured product is the one you receive and it is almost useless. Ignore the written description and hopefully this error will be corrected. I actually went and bought the one in the description, and it does work great.
Not much light
Warning: The product details and description on this page are for a different product. Only the picture is correct.
Pros: It is tiny (about 3 inches high) and would travel easily. I would use it to light papers on a desk next to the laptop.
Cons: The Mr. Brightside USB light has only one LED light. Also, depending on where your USB ports are, the light may not work at all for you. It is VERY small, I guess as shown in the picture. It's about 3 inches high when stretched straight. My USB ports are luckily on the side of my laptop and so I can curve the neck and shine it on the keyboard as it is designed to do. If you ports are in the back the light is to short to shine around the lid onto your keyboard. Because it is so short the light can only either be curved to shine on only the closest keys, or pointed straight across the keyboard - in which case it is only strong enough to light maybe half the keyboard. I did try attaching it to a small USB extension cord I had and hooked it over the top of my laptop screen and got the best light from it - but still not great. It does not have a clip or batteries options like the description - that is another product.
I ended up going and buying the one described in the product details which is bigger and had 2 LED lights - much better.
Not a good buy
Very small, not enough light, when plugged in on the side, my hands block the light.
Try your luck with some type of a long reach flexible neck.
