Modding Logitech Orion Spark G910

[Aaron Rahnama]

I really like the Logitech Orion Spark keyboard but the key caps are total crap. Does anyone know if you can switch out the key caps on it or not.

if it's cherry MX switches, you can just switch out the key caps yourself.

Not possible unless you can create your own backlight compatible keycaps yourself.  No company has a romer-G compatible keycap yet, as they are exclusive to Logitech.   No OEM has replacement keycaps for this board because Romer-G is exclusive to Logitech.  And the market is too small for any sort of keycap replacements to be sold.  How many people would actually buy them?  50?   Remember even though cherry sized keycaps would fit IF the stem were modified for romer-G, and the backlight compatible letter printing were moved to dead center, you still need a machine to make these things...($$)

I was going to say, you can get cylindrical caps for it....

 

They are probably made out of the same uv coated abs, but that's a decent price for caps like that, especially considering that they will only fit on one keyboard.

And that is also the only option you have, since the switches are not compatible with Cherry MX keycaps. Logitech isn't the only one pulling this, as SteelSeries also has their own switch that also lacks compatibility.

 

Which is really kind of sad, since the ability to replace broken or worn keycaps or just customize for mad style pointz is a big appeal of mechanical keyboards, since  they are very durable.

yup. I'd take SIP sockets and swapping LEDs over RGB any day.
