    Hello everyone. I ordered my M17X back in December so that I'd get it while I was on R&R. At the time selecting the lighted Key Board would have delayed the shipping of my M17x so I didnt get it. Can I retrofit a lighted keyboard to what was originaly a nonlighted M17x keyboard? I have heard yes and no so Im looking for clarification. Thanks :)

    ONE MONTH TO GO!!!!!
