Modding a keyboard with vinyl film - Part 3

[BMJ2008]

PROTIP:

For round buttones... use a pen or marker tube. :) Works perfectly.

[BunchOfAddicts]

thatss a very nice keyboard you have there..

[bozzza69]

wow well worth it perfect job for a lazy afternoon

[bkspook]

good job thx for the tuto ^^ news life for my g15

[2mustange]

Letting you know im going to take the extra step and also change out my LEDs to be Green and also "repaint" the 'M' keys and volume wheel, and sound buttons.

[Youdhisthir1]

why didnt i thnk of this lol

[stuntevie]

good vid, well explained, i would do it, but i'm to lazy to remove all those buttons :p

[Lihaschu]

can't you just get the silver part off the keybord so u can wor on it better?

[bockenrecords]

Sure looks great!

[MrDucktaper]

pretty nice!

[CometUK]

wow that looks really nice, GJ =P

[ILikeKiks]

Do mnpctech also ship to Denmark?

[IllegalMavamaarten]

Wow ! That really looks awesome. Why didn't logitech think about this ?

It simply looks amazing !

[markcumbriauk]

Great Job, Very Informative A+++++++++++++++++

[IMwtfable]

Looks really nice. Logitech shoulda made them like that from the start. :)

[gregorypeg1000]

+111111

[idiottom351]

you should use a shish kabob stick to get it around the buttons (:

[rootman007]

great job m8, i'm ready to mod my g15 now, i would only love to know is there different kind of carbon foil, because i want to order it from ebay, and there is a lot of diferent carbon foils.

i cant order from the site you showed on your vid, because i need it in the part of europe where only some of the ebay's do shipping.

tnx, great stuff!

[inakretep]

Where in Europe? MNPCTech ship everywhere - trust me :)

[IMwtfable]

It's not foil btw, it's vinyl. It may be the same but it doesn't sound like it. Foil is not smooth and plasticy like vinyl is.

[cabby007]

that was awesome, wanna do my G15?

[MegaUnidentified]

Do it self

this is a kind off a 'How to'

[DjSprinks890]

..It was only after he put it back together and powered it up he noticed halv the lcd screen was not on! Damn that ribbon cable! Lmao :D nah nice work m8!! :) if i pay u will u do mine?? as i know i will get half way and get sick of the bubbles and then fuck one of the buttons up then just get realy pissed of with it and throw it through my window!! :| Lool ile let u know when ive got my G 15!! =) Lol

[lpstephan]

wtf lol?

u really did that??

ROFL

[AIMintersector]

You are a hard worker mate!

[taintedbird]

sweettt

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

It looks beautiful really good job here

[xmurder95x]

lol emos XD

[Prence]

Wouldn't it be easier to cut with a xacto knife, you might have better control when cutting.

[Gamer4PY]

hey this looks sooo much better!!!

[ZitrokLaus]

this seems to be a job with EMOs :D

they can cut the vinyl perfectly :)

[CarbonEternity]

im going to do some thing similar to this to my g19 in a few months i recon.

[keithjk1]

I got the same keyboard, thanks for the info, going to now mod mine, but also going to change the LEDs to green.  :)

[t3hsniper]

Why didn't you just remove the silver part and I would suggest testing to see if the keyboard lcd works before popping the top back on so quick.

[PCigrach]

Nice

[RBREBAN]

this just to much work

[jipasd]

Looks much better than the original one. I'm not too keen on vinyl usually, but that one looks kinda nice as it's only the one part of the keyboard.

[Rapidpanda1st]

Awesome!

My mate asked me to mod his G15, now I know what I'll do :)

~Frosty.

[CentaXBerlin2]

I ruined the varnish of my G15 last week...

I was already thinking if I should do this mod... but now I'm going to... :)

Thank you for your great tutorial, I hope, it'll look great like yours ;)

[ChanceBMX25]

well done thats a really nice job i do have to pay u some credit for that one, keep up the good work.

[squishyak]

wow great video, that keyboard looked amazing!

lol my laptop (xps 1730) comes with that finish as standard

[TravisFlepper]

good video, i have a G11 but its the same as far as this mod goes. I am thinking about doing this but i might use the brushed aluminum look instead. i assume all vinyl sheets are created equal. cool mod. I got it for $40 it came in a cardboard box with nothing else and the serial number ius crossed out lol.

[suirllinddracus]

it does make it look pretty good....

[TendencyDriven]

You think... Wow smart person.

I was just saying that the price differences are large... =/ Nothing about how much a custom gaming keyboard costs...

If you must know mine is a £250 keyboard.

[skulleton]

what kind is it? I don't know of any "gaming" keyboards for that price...

[thinair93]

Logitech G15 - it's arguably THE standard of gaming keyboard. Look out for the g19 coming in march, full colour lcd screen. It looks frikking sweet.

[Fransais]

what u mean "for that price" they r expensive

[skulleton]

what are you talking about? im responding to someone elses comment, and now everyone is latching onto mine...fuck off people

[simon1573]

Its damn beutiful! <33

[MortesNoize]

logitech suxx :D but the video is great ^^

[TendencyDriven]

Wow... Logitech G15 is the GREATEST gaming keyboard in the world. The Logitech gaming mice are brilliant as well. Logitech is on top of the gaming era... Well... With Alienware that is

[danielkraak]

Indeed, logitech is great quality!

[Eagle1337]

nah it's not the best well okay his g15 version is the new one is junk imo.

[TendencyDriven]

The new one doesn't have a flip out screen. Its disgusting looking :o

[Eagle1337]

i should have used commas.

nah it's not the best well okay his g15 version is, the new one is junk imo.

now my comment makes sense.

[RegRun]

Nice explained in detail thanks for the tutorial :) Hope I won't break that rubber part that goes around :D

[xevosinx]

wtf? so he put the thing on then where the hell did the blue light come from ? pm me xD

[inakretep]

The keyboard has blue LED backlighting... 'nuff said.

[tartredarrow]

I would never do that to a $100 keyboard. I might do it to the shitty $10 keyboard I'm using now to make it look nice. The G15 already looks nice.

[lucnfs]

me 2

[TendencyDriven]

Wow its $100? In england its like...

£45

[yungtate]

hey where did you get the film from like what web site

[TendencyDriven]

HE SAYS IN THE VIDEOS!! Jeeze.

[yungtate]

thats shit is nice man

[udc000wh]

Very nice job my G15 is standerd ;p

[slipslipknot555]

it looks extremely great

thanks dude, I'll try it

[enjoybot]

Wow, I was just sitting and reading and I got this idea to cover the grey part that is wearing out with cf vinyl, searched on google and get this detailed guide. Thank you man :)

[fuckingsavage]

Awesome! I was thinking about spraying the grey piece glossy black or something, but now that vinyl film texture looks dark and badass too. I'd like one that has that Crysis suit texture to mine if they have one...hehehe >:)

Great Mod man!!!

[desmain]

sweet

i wanna do that with my g15 :( it'd look nice with my g7 :)

[WolfDarrigan]

yea, this (I have the g15 as well) keyboard is too nice to cover the buttons on... very nice tut by the way.

Do you know of any good software for the lcd screen?

[gamerguy12345]

pause your vid at 1:48, so its like that

[inakretep]

Not what I'd be wanting to do personally - the buttons are backlit, so covering them isn't for me :)

[gamerguy12345]

yeah but cut around the button and leave the film on so its like a cap, the button wont be pressed.

[gamerguy12345]

I have a question, why dont you just leave the vinyl film on the buttons (the ones you had to hold down when you were putting the film on)?

[inakretep]

If I left the film on the buttons, they'd stay pressed in (I use them heaps too)

[rutkutusperatus]

good job!

[cdtoaster]

awsome work dude, it looks awsome

[websiteguru]

i thought you channel was cool stop over and view mine. if you wouldn`t mind subscribing to my channel i do the same and subscribe to yours.

[isilder]

sound too quiet.

for $2billion dollars, you'd think they would have got volume normalisation.

[inakretep]

riiight....

[Migitdon]

tried it. looks great. except my lcd screen as packed up and wont light up =[ i cant get the little film thingy from the screen to go into the keyboard and i think the clip has got a post missing so it wont clip in proper. ive well fucked this up but it is my fault so i guess i payed the price for it so be careful and dont let the tiny black clip out of sight or better dont do it at all lol!

[darkraver109]

cooool

[prOgrenadier]

I don't think I could do that as well as you, my hands aren't very steady, they spaz. lol

[prOgrenadier]

nice!

[MetatroN197924]

nice video man i love to see another one with a pc case

[E3pOPWNER]

Sweet mod. im so buying some of that stuff.

[unknown124]

wow thats awesome how it turned out... I may just get a logitech g15 just to mod it and use it ofcourse :D

[rorski1234]

might buy a cheap keyboard to try on first before trying this :D

[mr92de]

Awesome, but i am to worried about my keyboard than trying this out ;)

[rgbda]

Great tutorial man :-) Ive been thinking of this for some time, match the g15 to the g7 ftw.
