Yeah, I cant stand no lighting for keyboards since I play in the dark most nights (just less straining on ze eyes) and due to my hand shape w/ mouses I figured it'd be better then the DeathAdder.

..I spilt coke on my keyboard/mouse :<

Also buying this case to match it in a fortnight:

Biggest issue I've had is when I'll have my hand off the keyboard in a cut scene in ME3, then suddenly ****'s happening and I'm scrambling to find WASD.

Picked up this from ebay for $170 (some schmucks were selling it for $1000)

Got some scrap materials from an abandoned stockyard nearby, plus some spray paint:

well that's even easier! :P

hint: use Ctrl as a reference point, easy enough to find the corner of the keyboard with your pinky and even easier to drop your fingers on WASD after that. Well, if you're a Ctrl to crouch guy like me at least lol

not so much a purchase, got it for freeeeeeeeee :D

Works perfectly too. The woman said the electronic dealy doesn't work (but we suspect it's the batteries) but either way we don't really need that, it pedals fine. :D

knowing the government, probably because they're not manufactured with a Vehicle sold here or some ****.

I know I'm HOPING to get replacement lights for my Paseo, but its looking to be a nightmare.

The centre part of them is a 'parking light' the Australian ones have a clear section, where as the JDM ones are all amber. According to some rule I read somewhere, all parking lights need to be white / clear for whatever reason. Mine were changed when it was imported (among other things). I've now got the JDM ones back in, and I just removed the bulbs so that everyone's happy!
