K95 & K70 RGB White Base Plate Cover Mod [Templates Available] EDIT: This is now an open source project!

The layout file I used to make this mod are located in this dropbox folder as .dwg and .ai files. Thanks to Corsair Forums member "meap," the cutout templates are now available in PDF for those of you that can't use autoCAD or adobe illustrator. Thanks to Corsair Forums member "HaselnuesseTo," the cutout templates are now available for the German K70 layout! Thanks to Corsair forums member "TobyMoose," the cutout templates are now available for the NA K65 layout!



Currently supported layouts: North American English - K95, K70, K65

German - K70, K65*

*No official German K65 pdf. To use this mod for the German K65, print out the German K70 template and cut off the numberpad area.



QUICK REMINDER: If you are planning on printing the PDFs out, do NOT scale them! That could mess up the size of the print and it will not fit the board if you are using a non standard paper size (The files support both ANSI and ISO standard paper sizes). Do not "Fit to page." Print at the original size, or the print will not fit .



Video of the mod



Hey everyone! I own two k95 RGB keyboards (I am using one at work and one at home over the summer) and I decided it would look better with a white base plate cover than with the regular brushed aluminum one. It took a long time to measure and draft the cut paths for the base plate cover, but I think it was worth it. Pictures incoming!







I first drafted the keyboard in AutoCAD. I made the draft; it was not provided by Corsair and it took way too much of my time to make. My current version of the draft is still a couple hundredths of a millimeter off, so I can't cut acrylic to fit over the keyboard yet.







I took the keyboard to the Mechanical Engineering labs this morning. I skipped class to reserve the laser cutter :D

It was a better use of my time anyways. Fluid Dynamics. Can't be too useful can it?

Laser cutting is super fun. Sorry for the bad quality, I had my camera on "Close up" preset because I was taking pictures of my room mate's gecko last night. I'll show you guys later. I got a really good picture of her :D

IT FITS!!! Well, sort of. It took a bit of force to get the right side around the numpad to stay on. I need to refine my measurements still *sigh* (I really wish Corsair would just give me a dimension drawing!)

*

After I got the whole thing on. the G keys are separate from the rest of the keyboard because I needed to check to see if I had aligned them correctly in my draft (I had no way to measure vertical displacement from the rest of the keyboard). I'm glad I separated the two parts because it turns out I was almost .6 mm too low! I will fix that for draft 2.

Now: Comparison Time!

Here's a small video comparison I made. I do not own a video camera so it is poor quality video.

and here's that gecko picture I promised!
