This fixed the W/L issue on my end.

If iCUE is not running, does the mouse still disconnect? Try disabling iCUE from startup using the task manager. If iCUE is not running and the mouse is still acting strange, you may need to update your mouse firmware.

That vinyl job looks excellent! I didn't know anyone was still looking at this project - you've made my day!

Very creative! that looks excellent haha

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't know of a place that sells them. You could ask a local signage shop if they could cut one for you. They are expensive to get custom made, though.

That looks like a scaling issue. Chech your print settings, and I will check the file for scaling issues when I get home tonight.

I only officially support the US layout, because that's the only keyboard layout I have and can design for. If I were to get my hands on a board with the UK layout, I'd be happy to provide UK support for this mod. Any other files I host are given to me by other contributors that have keyboards I do not have. I don't test these files (because I don't have the required hardware), but I provide them on the forum here if other people would like to use them. As for the RAPIDFIRE series, I believe the new layout is identical to the old layout, but I do not yet own a RAPIDFIRE or Lux board so I can't verify that.

I mean, it's not too hard to remember that double symbol keys are flipped. The main function of every key receives the brighter lighting this way. It is Corsair's design choice. I have no issues typing on any set of keycaps, not even the flipped STRAFE font caps. Food for thought: the "way they are supposed to be" is likewise a design choice. Standards change over time. People innovate and deviate from the standards. Sometimes deviations fail, and other times they work just as well or even better than the accepted standard.

Corsair Keycaps HYPE

I use a keycap puller. You can remove keycaps by hand... It is just difficult and you run a greater risk of breaking the stem. That being said, I've pulled keycaps with my hand and never broke anything. You just have to make sure you're pulling directly up and do NOT twist, or you will break something! Here's a guide by WASD: [ame] [/ame]

As long as the red L measures 10mm by 10mm, you have printed at the correct scale. In case you would like to test the scale out, you could cut out the arrow keys on their own (or some other small section) and try to put it on the keyboard. It should work just fine. Be careful if you plan on using cardboard. It could work just fine, but the overall thickness should be no more than 1/16" or the keycaps will hit the backplate. I reccomend using craft paper (it is rigid enough to last a long time) I never used any sort of adhesive. That would be up to you, but I think that would void the warranty and make the mod difficult to remove in the event you are trying to RMA a defective keyboard. The model has low tolerances (designed for laser cutting) and fit snugly around the switches, which should hold them down if you cut carefully.

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.

Email or call the shop and ask if they can use Adobe Illustrator files. I would be really surprised if there's a shop that can cut these that doesn't use Adobe Illustrator...

It would be a great marketing point. A macro executed on almost any key combo you could think of... I'm thinking this is already possible in Autohotkey. I set up macros in the past that executed when I held CTRL+mouse4, a keyboard and mouse interaction! Maybe it's not the number of unique key combinations, but the flexibility in being able to choose which keys do exactly what. It sounds cool to me, but honestly I'm more interested in some extra lighting functionality since I know I can turn to AutoHotKey for macros that I dont know how/can't build in CUE.

No problem! let me know if I can do anything for ya!

Check my dropbox ;) There are files for Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD, and Solidworks that do not split the keyboard into parts :D Unless for some reason you wanted it in a PDF format..?

I'm not sure what you mean by "rough" paper... Any craft paper should do just fine :) it should be firm so it doesn't fold easily is what I meant.

Here is a comparison picture: the paper is on top and the plastic is on the bottom. Plenty of people that can't make the mod out of plastic use paper and are very happy with the results :) As long as you don't touch the paper, it should last a while. (more than a couple months) If you regularly clean your keyboard as you should, then you can inspect the cover yourself every so often. Make sure you use a thick, craft-grade white paper and you'll have great results!

Yes, it will look very similar.

I used High Impact Styrene 1/16" thick. I forget the length/width I bought, but it was physically larger than the board. If you are not planning on using a precision cutter, I would strongly advise that you do not attempt to make one out of plastic and instead use the PDF files to print the templates out on firm paper. Paper is much easier to cut by hand and actually looks very nice if you take your time. :)

I find that it is only fun playing in a group online. If I play the single player, it has to be modded :P I put in 300 hours pretty much exclusively in the GTA Online realm... >.>
