I'm thinking about buying a Corsair Vengeance K60 keyboard, and my current keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse II, and I was wondering if there is a way to take the LEDs out of this keyboard and put them in the K60.

Also can I take the laser etched keycaps off (rubber dome) and put them on the K60 Cherry MX Red switches?

I highly doubt you can use the eclipse key caps on the cherry mx switches unless they have the same molding design underneath them, but that would be weird. If they are easily removable then just look at the bottom for verification. Now the Corsair mech boards are not fully mechanical, as in some of the keys are rubber dome, so maybe you can use them on those keys. But really depends on how they are attached.

In regards to the LED lights. Most Mech LED boards I've seen have individual LEDs under each key that sit against the cherry mx switch. So unless you want to do some serious modding that is probably out of the question too.
