Looks old, works new. Matches the Model M plastic perfectly! Was way easier to do than I expected.

YES, that's the way to do it. Re-use the shell for something better and keep on using it. A shame no company makes shells to accept mouse internals like Razer's, Logitech's and Microsoft mice. It means you can choose what type of internals to use yourself.
I'm sure some Chinese company would love to start a business selling universal shells to accept almost any internal sensor and switch from other manufacturers.

Also using a logitech G700s. I was using a rat mmo 7 before, but decided to give the 700s a whirl.

Did you have to dremel the bottom of the older mouse to fit the new internals?
