Modded my G15 Keyboard :)

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but here goes

I changed all the LEDs in my Logitech G15v2 board a little while ago. Didn't bother with the caps/num/scroll or the M1/M2/M3 LEDs etc, but i did the screen and main keys.

EDIT: Sorry for the HUGE pictures

Also, the camera doesnt do it justice.

That looks great, much better than the orange. How hard was it to do?

Why o why did logitech not make this blue to start with is behond me.

Cheers. Not very hard really, as long as you are comfortable with soldering.
I do allot of soldering as a hobby, and regularly solder 0603 SMDs (the ones used for the screen+top of the keyboard) so it wasn't too bad. The hardest part was getting the guts to take my G15 apart ahah.

If anyone is interested, you need about 10 x PLCC-2, and 4 x 0603. You will need an additional 7 x 0603 if you wish to do the CAPS/NUM etc lights.

Edit: Locky, the v1 keyboard was blue, then they changed to orange for v2. Beats me why they changed too :S Proberbly to fit in with their other items, like G5 which used orange.

Cool, i might give it a go.

Yeah, its a lovely result. And the main LEDs are on seperate boards, so it doesnt matter *so much* if you screw them up.

good job that looks really good, took me ages to find a rev 1 because I didn't want the orange backlight.
