    If you right click that little alien icon on the task bar, you can select a 'Lights out' option which turns all the lights off.

    Ahhh.. Sometimes its nice to just see the screen without all the lighting from the keyboard/trackpad/etc.

    Anyone else find out something neat that you didn't know about either?

    Also, I heard there are a few games which support the alienware lighting, and can change it in the game based on the situation. Which games support that?

    You can also do this by pressing fn + [the key at the top right that says Alien FX]. Can't remember which it is off the top of my head. Only thing is it doesn't turn off touchpad light. To do that you have to either disable the touchpad (button next to AlienFX) or turn it off in the FX editor.
