I'm interested.
What's the preferred method for making one of these? It looks like it's just splicing a link cable and the keyboard cable together. Is there a cleaner way?
[Edit]
Looks like Kitsch has a product I'd be interested in: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/easy_ps-2
Looks p nice. No need for an external power supply for the keyboard then?

Thanks so much for all the info. Sadly, I accidentally ripped a bit of the diffusion film on the backlight when I was working on installing it, so It'll be a few weeks before I can put any of this knowledge to good use. Protip: any task that requires physical finesse shouldn't be done at 1:30 in the morning.

Searching through Nonfinite's site and Youtube, I can't find any guide showing how to install this thing. I guess I'm going to need something to drill a small hole in the case and some glue to hold the trimpot into place, but I've never soldered anything before so I have no idea what to do with the wires. Any help on adding this to my DMG would be greatly appreciated.

[edit]

Whelp, going to have to wait to put the backlight in anyways. I seemed to have stripped one of the screws on the back of the DMG. Not to mention the ones I took out also left quite a bit of metal flakes on the tip of the tri-wing, not really sure if it was my fault or not. Anyway, what screws could I replace my current ones with?

>That second to last question
Took me 20 minutes. I still feel like I didn't make the right choice.

Anyway, good luck with your thesis, studioAdam. Hope this info comes in handy.
