Do the colours relate to what switches you should use them with? I'd like to try the black rings on MX Blues for the better bottoming out sound.</div>

You can use any of them for any type of Cherry MX switch (maybe other brands as well). The O ring colors specify the type (i.e. what effect) the O ring has. For example, the Red O rings are half as thick as the Blues & Blacks so keys don't bottom out as soon as the others = less change in the way the keystoke feels. Blue O rings have more of a "cushion" or "spongy" feel when you bottom out while Blacks have a more defined, harder feel when bottoming out. Just a guess on my part, but if you want to change the way the keys sound when you bottom out, I would think that Reds & Blues would have a greater impact on reducing the sound since they are softer. I suggest either call/e-mail WASD keyboards before ordering to make sure you get the ones best suited to your needs.<br><br><div class="quote-container" data-huddler-embed="/t/1316586/logitech-g710-disassembly-and-modification-56k-warning/10#post_18382556"><span>Quote:</span>

As far was warranty concerns. The paint comes off really easy with thinner and theres no warranty stickers or anything that gets messed up if you take it apart. My buddy had problems with his G700 and they just sent him a new one without having to return the old. So idk.</div>

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think about sanding first, though it make sense. I wonder if 1000 grit would work - I want to use a fine grit so that the plastic remains smooth.<br><br>

As for the warranty. IDK either. I haven't yet (*fingers crossed*) had a Logitech item which needed replacement under warranty. 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 have heard Logitgech is pretty good about warranties in general - even replacing items a month or two after the warranty expired. Still, you never know... 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. 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.<br><br>

Thanks again for the post. Now I just need to find a G710+ on sale. <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif">
