I'm not very familiar with Logitech gaming keyboards, but one idea I had was if an older model had the exactly the same six G-key layout/design, but a different color plastic bracket, try to buy a cheap, non-working "parts"model off of E-Bay and swap the plastic pieces. I'll probably keep the board as is for a while, and if everything still works properly, figure that I've got a good keyboard and go ahead with the paint job. see Keyboard Key Switch Mechanisms Physical multimedia keys. I have heard Logitgech is pretty good about warranties in general - even replacing items a month or two after the warranty expired. Logitech G710+ is one of the best standard PC form keyboard for programers, because: Mechanical key switches (Cherry MX Brown), with silencer. If it wasn't for the fact you have to cut out the bottom of the posts holding the bracket, it would be easy as you say - just remove the paint, throw the bracket back in and RMA. I haven't yet (*fingers crossed*) had a Logitech item which needed replacement under warranty. I wonder if 1000 grit would work - I want to use a fine grit so that the plastic remains smooth.Īs for the warranty. I didn't think about sanding first, though it make sense. They dont adhere to the black part very well and shouldnt be too bad to remove.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for the reply. All you need to do is take a knife and chip away the little orange pieces that are melted. It has little plastic rods that protrude through the holes and they have been melted to the black glossy trim to ensure a good mate. The orange piece just snaps into place but is also melted there as well.
Okay because I didnt want orange here is how the mod come into play. Here you can see the thickness of the PCB and metal plate. Dont worry if any of the clips break, the screws will still hold the keyboard together once reassembled. Gently pry the two halves of the case apart. There are two hidden clips above the left and right arrow keys. Use a plastic tool to release the clips holding the case together. Nice thick study metal base for all the keys to attach.

Here you can kind of see how the orange piece is removable. Pretty slick cable routing underneath the keyboard. Almost a little rough but should smooth out over time.
