The Asus Eee PC seems to be on the receiving end of mods and hacks these days, with Popular Science showing a cheap method to get a keyboard backlight up and running on your Eee PC without breaking the bank – under $15, to be exact.
What good is that portable PC if you can’t type anywhere and anytime? With its ultra-compact keyboard, even touch typing pros will be hard-pressed to avoid frequent mistakes on when the lights go out. To say it’s a frustrating exercise in futility to locate the miniature F3 key in the dark is an understatement. Oops, you just lost WiFi contact by accidentally hitting F2.
Sounds like the perfect DIY upgrade for those who love typing in the dark. Not only that, it’ll literally make your Eee PC stand out from the rest.
