I started a thread on that topic in this very forum. Don't reember what it's called, but I believe there's a short how-to. Try searching next time.

I'm not sure if that's sarcasm, but the puck mouse only lit up if you used your 1337 h4x0ring skillz.

I don't believe it was sarcasm... surpz, can you post a link to the thread with the KB thing? I been thinking of doing this... I'm just too damned lazy to search...
So if you have it lying around... if not, I guess I'll have to move my mouse all the way up to the search link, and... ah, forget it...
