    Ok was not sure where to put this and I know World or Warcraft and Soon to be Lord of the rings will have LUA Scripting. Can this be use for Keyboard Lighting? Like if you where Posioned. Part of your keyboard would turn Green. IF you where Bleeding Part of your keyboard would turn Red. and so on.

    It would be a cool idea.

    there was someone a while back talking about a mod which would make the lights blink while you're in combat, however to my knowledge it required reading mem locations with a 3rd party app... was a little hesitant, even though they did say its about as detectable as a virus scanner doing the same thing etc.

    don't think it's possible with just LUA code though :(

    and havn't seen anything new about that mod either, forgot the persons nick

    I remember one game that makes use of the Alienware keyboard lighting FX. It even makes mention of it when you load the game up. It was called Void or something, ah what was that game again.
