I'm using a sidewinder x4, and I want to replace the red LED with blue LED. Could someone link me to some fitting blue LED lights? I can't even find out where I can buy them, let alone what to get.

not to be a prick... but you should at least attempt a little research first before giving up. its a common mod so there are guides up everywhere. leds are so commonplace that even radioshack and some other hardware stores carry them standard.

a little research goes a long way... you might not find your exact keyboard model but led sizing should be similar.
