Keyboard Mods?

Does anyone have any serious keyboard mods?

Or any pics/links?

I've seen a few mods, here and there:
-paint it black (including re-lettering the keys!)
-run some EL glow wire between the keys
-change the LEDs to blue ones
-incorporate a USB connector (for mouse?)

I'll post a link if I track down any of them.

Key lettering by Sharpie! Been using it nearly two weeks now, works great!

i have that exact same keyboard...came with my 486, oldie but a goodie

anyways, one of the more creative keyboard mods ive seen is here

i dont know of many people with a need for that stuff, but other things might be useful. ive considered stickin a vfd or lcd display at the top of my keyboard (there is definitely room), instead of in a 5.25" drive slot. also as per this howto i really wanted to move my cd drive buttons and lights to the top part of the keyboard, and then stealth the drives...but stupid non-standard switches and lights killed my fun.
