DIY "backlit" keyboard mod?
#1
Hey everyone,

I'm loving my PBP but one thing I'm struggling with (when switching from my MBP or XPS) is not having a backlit keyboard in the evenings.

I wonder if anyone played around with any kind of mods to make a "backlit keyboard effect"... I was thinking something along these lines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJoHfzQNK3k but for a laptop.

I know there are these bendy USB LED lights than can stick up on the side of your laptop but I'm wondering if my hands would cast a shadow over most of the keyboard.

Thanks and looking forward to hear your ideas!

Or something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTRLt-fzTwg
