Logitech G710+ backlight mod

So i got a Logitech G710+ from the USA a while ago (i wanted the USA layout) and decided to do a little test / mod with it.

The project was to turn the background from black to white to get more of a white glow around the buttons than in it's stock state.

Below are some pics of this as well as some before / after shots.

Stock out of the box.

I made simple paper strips that hook under each button's side tabs.

Long ones go across over the short ones, slowly turning the black background into white.

A after / before pic, mind the bad camera quality but the difference is there.

The desired effect i wantted that was the inspiration for this project comes from a CM Storm Octane set my girlfriend uses :)

Let me know what you guys think of this mod :)
 
Nice idea that dude - time consuming but pretty simple. Scheduled it for a shout out on facebook too :)

Thanks :)

Yeah VERY time consuming and you need to have the patience for it as well lol.
If patience ain't you thing then this mod isn't for you.

It would have been easier to just paint the black metal backplate, but that would mean desoldering ALL the buttons :(

I think it worked out well this way :)
 
So i finally got a new camera after doing 3 attempts to fix the old one :/
So here are some new pics of the actual glow:
