Spiderman 3 by Matt Fielder

Mouse and keyboard

I wanted a set of matching peripherals, and so I pulled apart a keyboard and mouse to deck out with the same paint design I had used on the backplate of the case, imitating the Spidey-suit. The astute among you will notice that I'm using a primarily black colour for the suit detailing - a reference to the upcoming plot line of Spiderman 3, for the uninformed.

I spent about an hour or so taking the keyboard, mouse, and mouse battery charger apart - there are lots of little parts when you strip things such as these, and the smartest thing to do is to get a zip lock bag for each part you take apart.

The Saitek keyboard I used had a red backlight, which was a rather handy addition to the theme.
