LEDs isn't too good to get nicely spreaded light.
That, unless you use an acrylic sheet to spread out the light.

EL cables, you can get from Niclas from the garage sale.
Also can be found in rooftop Sg. Wang.
But one thing about el cables in Malaysia, they're all 12V, so you need to have another cable coming out of ur keyboard. (Bad thing, the converter is huge... so...)

Also depending on your keyboard, you must take note of how high the keys are from the base of your keyboard in order to fit in the el cable.

I guess, if you can get hold of 5V el cables, it'll be pretty easy to add them in. Also do inform me if you can get those 5V el cables.

That pleomax is RM20 only...
Cheaper now...

Hmm... there weren't any warranty stickers around, but then, obviously warranty void even there's warranty.

I'm following this thread, waiting for anyone to tell me where to get 5V elcable in Malaysia.

=( you wont get to mod it till it looks that way...
not even close... for all the cheapo keyboard only has printed characters.

that pic is a saitek eclipse which is easily available... you want a nicely lit keyboard, pay the price for it.
