    Lol Anyone else experience this? Just finished download the retail version of supreme commander 2 from steam and when I ran it I noticed my keyboard went blue. Probably a feature implemented in Supreme Commander since they were endorsed by Alienware? Anyways runs great on my M11x :D

    Were you playing as UEF? Maybe the game supports LightFX/AlienFX, I've been trying to find out what games support it for ages.

    Yes, I can officially confirm the thing supports AlienFX. On the main menu you get a dark blue, when playing the first campaign mission of the UEF you get a lighter blue, I would assume during the illuminate and cybran missions you get green and red. Awesome!

    Sacred 2 Support alienfx as well.. but the flashing from that game is too excessive for me :p I feel like I'm gonna have a seizure when I play with 3rd party alienfx access on.
