Wow 140 o.O;
Well i know a laser cutting company nearby. They helped me cut my aluminium casing on the top to add in the water cooling radiator.
Like i saw a post that G81 boards and vice versa is not compatible with G80. But there was no mention regarding the metal backplates whether that would be compatible.
Is there a link to the Japanese custom plate site ?
Anywayz i was thinking that the G81 metal back plate seems to have all the holes drilled for the switches for 101 keys, and the led lights exactly like my G80. So if there is any adjustments to be done they will be few.
I need only mark what to cut, then send to the laser cutting company to make the adjustments.
Another thing i'm not too sure on is the switches. Pcb mounted vs plate mounted.
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=13783So is my option to cut the plastic pin for the pcb mounted to be compatible to solder onto plate ?
Also in the starting post, is that thin plastic sheet necessary ? Is there some partitioning needed to be between the metal plate and the pcb ?
Like your mod sixty u had some rubber mesh between the plate and the pcb.
