Modding a DiNovo keyboard

[feo]

OK I shelled out a little over R1K for my DiNovo mouse and keyboard combo and I'm loving it except for one little thing, I'm sure I won't be alone in this: when I use my PC at night, it's usually in the dark and when typing I can't see which key is which, bloody annoying.

Now I know modders don't really hang around in this forum but I'm gonna ask anyway. Is there anyone who has modding experience that can tell me if it's possible to just embed a few lights inside the keyboard so that they illuminate the letters in the dark?

Cheap and less hassle

But it's not as fun.

It's a mucho expensive keyboard, when the next gen DiNovo's come out I'll have a bit of fun this one. Fanks for the link. Would PC Game & Computer World stock those lights, I'm gonna be in Centurion tomorrow and will make a stop maybe.

I'm not sure bro, they should have something similar, but if you ask me it's gonna be a tad more expensive

I can't remember right now (last time I was in Centurion was last year April) But have a look at other pc stores, they might have something similar.

Nevermind, I think a shop will be better, I see NGR's shipping cost is quite high, near R60 for Major areas

I saw a mod that you would like some time ago. But do you think I can find it now? Nope.

Cool, found it:
