Only issue is that the f7 key is ever so slightly raised due to the detachable cable mode, i may try and fix it by making the detachable female end sit lower. i couldnt tell it would be like this when installing it.
Oh and i also intend to replace the winkeys with mx superblacks.
So yeah, all done :)
....sorta

shifts didn't need modding, but AKIMbO did the capslock for me. Did a great job!

Oh, I thought the shifts needed Modding. Oh well. Heh. Looks nice man!

the shifts only needed it if they came off a specific MY board.
these all came off a G80-3000LAMUS

Yeah! You posted pics after all. Glad your detachable cable mod came out pretty good.

Did you follow a tutorial for the detachable cable mod or just make it up as you went along? Just as I fancy doing this to mine...

Super black as in black/red stems + gray springs?

I was in the IRC chat when RougeR asked for some help. I posted up this tutorial (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38674.0). I think he used it? But you'll have to ask him for sure. Didn't mean to speak for your RougeR!
