A lot of people prefer TKL (ten-keyless) mechanical keyboards. I do not know why. I like having the the ten keys. Anyway, here is what my modification of my G710 looks like. I painted the orange plastic black and replaced some keys.

Yeah, I don't understand the desire for a board without a 10 key. There must be enough of a market out there though.

Got a link to your G710 by chance?

Ah there it is. Just had to refresh.

That looks cool. Much better blacked out. I never did care for the orange too much.

Which replacement keys did you go with?

Padlock (macro to lock Windows in Logitech Software), Power (macro to bring up shutdown menu in Windows in Logitech Software), and the translucent sampler for WASD and arrow keys.

Oh cool. This K70 actually has the Windows lock button too. Which is pretty nice if you're in game.

My Logitech K800 had the button to bring up the Windows Calculator. I do kind of miss that.

I love the picture of the little man running denoting the "Escape" key.

No. The padlock button that I bought from maxkeyboard replaced one of the G keys on my keyboard. I assigned a keypress to it so it locks the Windows desktop (for when I have company and such).

Also, the guy running is my homage to the "Flee" command in many RPGs.

Awesome. By the way, how do you lock your Windows desktop. Just wondering if that's something I can do also.

Windows Key + L

If you have it macro'd to a key, it should work with the Game Key enabled (the thing that turns the Windows Key off). I know it does on mine.
