Diffusing material, luminescent material, and other light-adjusting materials may be incorporate into the item. The item may include movable structures such as movable keyboard key members. Light-emitting diodes may be mounted on a substrate. The substrate may be coupled to keyboard key members, additional substrates, or other structures in an item. The item may include a layer of fabric and layers of other material. Openings in the layers of material may be configured to receive light-emitting diodes. Opaque layers of material may have patterned openings that help define shapes for the illuminated regions.
