Title: [MOD] Razer Orbweaver keycap compability mod
Post by: Zorox 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

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.
