[MOD] Razer Orbweaver keycap compability mod
« on: Wed, 19 August 2015, 08:40:56 »
While the Orbweaver has a weird plate, it is not compatible with normal keycaps. So that I decide to trim the plate out :D

original mod was from here: http://watchmono.com/blog-entry-3902.html

and here is my work :D http://imgur.com/a/3sA8r

hope you guys enjoy it

Nice mod, and interesting choice to mod the plate rather than just make extenders for the keycaps. I've had certain Sadsters fit on my Orbweaver, since they have a longer stem than most caps.

This is exactly what I'm thinking of doing. What tool did you use to cut the plastic? (google translate is terrible)

I use a hook-a-like plastic cutter like this one



and slide it slowly along the edges, with a good one like Olfa you can cut it down in 3-4 strokes, before it I used a side cutter to trim out the reinforcement under the plate.
