Why aren't there more glow in the dark keyboards for a more passive form of keyboard backlighting? (leminal.space)

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.

Thanks for the response. I guess I didn't really considered the amount of light that would be required to get a decent glow on. The mid-level light someone might have while using their desktop computer followed by just the light of the monitor might not be great for it.

Where did you get your stickers?

EBay, though you can usually find them on Amazon just as cheap, and I've seen them at Staples and office depot before at actual stores.

This is similar to the ones I got
