I did this mod a little over a week ago and posted it to Teksyndicate. I figured I'd cross post my mod here for you guys to enjoy aswell.

Amazing I got one aswell 2 weeks ago, and the green is really bothering me since my computer and room are both black/red themed. Was it easy to replaced the leds? (I love blue mx, so no plans on changing that, just the leds)

Can someone tell me for what that thing is used for?

You did a great job with that! Can't wait for money to mod to my hearts content. Or my hearts contents, whichever I feel like on that day.

Replacing the LEDs was pretty easy. The hardest part was the fact they razer used two types of solder. One end of the LED required a third hand to pull it out as I weakened the joint. The reddit guide I linked in the post covers this very well.

I use it as a replacement to my keyboard for gaming as it is more ergonomic and allows for macro and remapping with ease. Not to mention the use of the thumbstick it amazing for a variety of uses.
