Hey,
I am looking to mod my razer blackwidow ultimate 2013 edition, I have had it for 3 years now.
I have some questions :D :
What type of LEDs should i buy? Could it be any type?
Where is the best/cheapest place to buy cherry mx red switches in bulk?
What is the best type of spray paint to use? (I want to spray the top white and the bottom base grey)
Where is the best place to get back lit key caps from?
I know for the price I could buy a new keyboard but that's not any fun ;D
,Callum

On the spray paint side, the biggest thing that will make a difference is making sure to do your base coat of primer. Also, if the keyboard is smooth plastic, make sure to go over it with some fine-grit sandpaper first. If it's smooth, even the primer won't stick well. After the base is dry, do light coats of the final color untill you build up the finish you want, and then clear coat it to protect it.
