Jkraghify Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 can i diy cutting paper strips or something? Yes, check my dropbox PDF folder for printable layouts. Paper looks very good, and is practically free. It's what I'd advise anyone without easy access to a laser cutter (or similar equipment) to do.

K70_A4.pdf this should be good for a4 size normal printers right? so ill just manually cut them squares out and place it over keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkraghify Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 K70_A4.pdf this should be good for a4 size normal printers right? so ill just manually cut them squares out and place it over keyboard? Yes, that file is sized to work with A4 paper. When given the option, choose "No scaling" when you print. Also, if you cut out a small portion you can verify that it will fit the keyboard before cutting all the squares out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyk0401 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So I encountered a minor problem with my k70 lux keyboard. I bought my keyboard yesterday, and since I wanted my RGB colors to shine more vibrantly, I downloaded the white base-plate model for the k70 from here: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=140978 But apparently, the k70 layout provided in this link is too small for my k70 lux that I'm currently using. The layout seems to fit, but the layout given here is horizontally shorter. Is this normal? Or am I doing something in the process of printing the layout? If this doesn't work, anybody attempted to add a white base-plate for your k70 lux keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkraghify Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 This is a problem I've heard about before. You have probably scaled the PDF when printing it, which will mess everything up. I've answered this problem before, but the thread is long and it is difficult to read the whole thing. This is the solution I worked on; please forgive me for copy/pasting. If you don't think this is a print scaling issue, please post a picture of the problem you're seeing. I believe I have found a solution to your scaling issues. I put a reference scale on the PDF files this time so you can verify that the printout will fit before cutting the paper. The new files have been uploaded here and on my dropbox. I hope this helps! Also, if you are using the US or A4 standard paper size (8.5" x 11" or 210 x 297 mm) you should have no need to scale the PDF at all as long as you are using the appropriate file for your paper (US file for US paper and A4 file for A4 paper). 100% scaling is no scaling.

MROOD Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 i downloaded the k95 pdf, spent 3 hours carving out the square holes, i did it perfectly, everything fits but the middle was off by 1cm which is alot, both left right sides fit perfect but the middle was a disaster, so I just cut the middle bit out, my keyboard rgb now looks better and it looks the same as my strafe apart from the middle.

karl_azytzeen Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi, maybe Im a bit late, but i think that i can ask for it... I had a K70 RGB spanish layout QWERTY (CH-9000118-ES). I want to give a try with this mod but i found that the file K70_A4 does not match my layout. Now before looking the german file carefully, seems that it has the same layout as mine, but i cant be sure until im done and if anyone knows about the compatibility is usless to spend some ours on the try, so... Anybody knows if german and spanish keyborad has the same layout (i know some keys has diferent symbols, but thats not trouble if they had the same layout... (i know from experience that spanish and italian layout are the same) if anyone can confirm my thoughts or know about this will be awesome. Thanks PS: Sorry for my bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the only thing I could think of that could go wrong is the printing scale. If you want more specific help feel free to shoot me a PM and include a picture of what happened.

OhhJustSTFU Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 i found some files on a 3d printing upload site (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559818) in the files it had a full one piece base plate and also 3 files where it was cut into 3 pieces left center and right and went on 3dhubs and had ordered the 3 pieces (the one piece costs more and not everyone has a 3d printer that can make such a large piece so it was easier to get the 3 pieces) i picked the cheapest plastic option came out to $6.49 $6.85 $6.77 most of that price was really for the shipping i had to trim the bottom and top a little bit for it to fit the plastic wasnt a problem to cut thank goodness also got some Carbon Fiber Vinyl Film Wrap for $2 at wish.com this looks freaking awesome so worth it sorry to say i dont have a good camera to show how it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhhJustSTFU Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 oh on 3dhubs make sure to pick your own person and find a good cheap option that way rather than letting the site pick they might pick someone that charges a lot more i picked Goldfish's Hub for my pieces it was quick and cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getinmymailbox Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Two years later... I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for offering your files! I ordered keycaps for my K70 and then found this backplate layout. I was trying to avoid sticking the vinyl down, but it's buckling against the backing paper so I think I'll need to pull the keys off again and go ahead with it. :D Regardless, I'm pleased. Thanks!
