Anybody ever get a G4 (small one) keyboard lit up using cable lights/ LEDs, or anything?

I use a keyboard drawer. At night, it is hard to see the keys, because the desk blocks lamp or monitor light from falling on the keyboard. Would love to find an easy back-lit , through the keys option.

Thanks!

I started a thread about just that subject a while back. it's still in this form, and I believe that somebody did do it, although I'm too lazy to go and check.

I'm getting a new Apple Pro Keyboard soon, and after I figure out how to wire a power button into it, I'm gonna put lights in my old USB keyboard... lemme know how you go, and I will too...
I think I'm gonna put a strip of something that lights up along the top...
Don't really know yet though...
