MODDING MY K90!

markchotech · March 16, 2013

I've recently bought myself a corsair K90, not for its red switches (which i personally not like) but for the beautiful aesthetics! Is there anyway i can switch the mechanical keys to blues or possibly even GREENS (which i would love)? If so, where can i find just the switches? BTW i am in Canada but i am willing to pay a few extra cash for shipping and taxes if the retailer ships internationally.

do you know how to solder?

the process involves desoldering the switches, and either opening them up and replacing the stem, or just resoldering new switches to the board.

I've seen switches at digikey, but they cost around .60USD to $1 USD per switch, so you're looking at around $50-100 for new switches across the entire board.
