A Closer Look Part III

At the back of the keyboard, we can see a sticker that warns us the devices that need over 100mA power and are plugged into the spare ports of the keyboard, may not run:

When installed, the fan makes only a small buzz and brings a small cold wind breeze over our fingers, really handy in an intensive Counterstrike matche:
