@Poci: Could you check how much power (ampere) your Lycosa now draws from the USB port (Device manager, USB Root Hub Properties) ? Had a word with Razer R&D and they said that the LEDs should be fine but they said it might cross the specs for the USB port. It also might overload the controller itself which also draws power from this circuit. So according to Razer the keyboard/the controller might die sooner or later...

Right now my Lycosa draws 100mA. Will mod my review sample as soon as I've done the review Wink

also needs 100mA

i don´t think that the controller could die.
the power and voltage for the leds is limited by the 2 resistors.
and every led has hat resistor to which lowers the power for the leds again.
if something could die then the leds Cheesy they will get more power
but all looks fine Smiley

when i opened my board again, i will try to messure the power with a amperemeter

and:
my webcam needs 500mA oO and my usbstick 300mA Cheesy and my deathadder 100mA

maximum for each port are 500mA Wink

ATTENTION:

you have to bridge evry resistor itself!
there is one resistor for the "+" and one for the "-" channel

pls ask me if you have any questions and before killing your keyboardlightning or so Tongue

it is easy to do but you have to know how to solder...

only the two resistors right next to the white connector are to modify.
each resistor is connected to a pin of the white connector

when i have time i will take a better picture.

would it be possible to buy and extra led bar from razer and stick it on the keyboard using the white connector to gain extra light?

there is no space to place an extra bar.
and when you connect another led bar parallel you will need the double power (ampere)!

OK
your all going about this the wrong way
the idea is we dont have enough light where infact theres plenty its just not getting to the keys
ive taken a few pictures what ive done
but the idea is to basicly scratch the surface of the perspex
to emit the light to the keys.
the keys on mine  are not done propper as yet you will see what i mean on the pictures
but i will get around to it
i hope this help
just one thing it works and is the way around this problem
you can see for yourself just how bright the keys are  :bounce: Cheesy
on my dull keys i will scratch the other side of the perspex.
i dont want to go to deep it might crack
i will let you know how it goes soon as ive done it

just a pare of scissors
there have a angle on 1 side so it cuts well
allso i found its best to angle the scratch  facing the light
3  to 4 deep cuts each is enough i found
if you do to many it will just go wrong
so take your time spend a few hours on it
u can visualy see what needs doing the deeper you go the brighter it is
but the deeper you go means further away has less light
its a balancing act realy i will never get mine perfect now but its a lot better than before
so like i said before dont over scratch and take your time
