Has anyone attempted to remove the orange plastic around the g1-6 keys? Or does anyone think it could be removed? I think it is ugly.

It can't be removed by hand... It's the same as the black plastic around the regular keyboard. I suppose you could remove it or paint it.

It is super ugly. All the reviews have said the same thing. Why did they make it bright orange? Just keep it black. Be aware, if you remove it or paint it, you will void the warranty. You have to cut the melted plastic holders inside to remove it.

A guy from overclock.net did it and spray painted it black http://www.overclock.net/t/1316586/logitech-g710-disassembly-and-modification-56k-warning http://www.overclock.net/t/1316586/logitech-g710-disassembly-and-modification-56k-warning However it if I remember correctly it ended up wrecking the keyboard and he had to get it replaced, don't quote me on that. I've had this keyboard for about 3 months now and I have to say it doesn't look as gaudy in real life as it does in the picture to me.

I haven't tried to remove it myself, but the only way I could even see it being removable at all would be to completely take your keyboard apart (which I believe voids the warranty, I'm not sure) and pull it out from underneath.

I learned something recently. The color is brown, like the switches, not orange. I recently saw a blue version with blue switches. Palm meet face! Who knew?

Yeah I get smudge marks from my most used keys. I ended up putting a small price of cloth over the keyboard when I close it to prevent from happening.

This answer is from a previous review which they initially gave 1 star... The following is a fix for the sticky keys..In a last-ditch effort, I pulled all the primary keys off and used a Q-tip and petroleum jelly to lubricate the slots where all the keys are installed. Once I snapped all the keys back in place....WOW....THIS WAS THE PERFECT KEYBOARD. It now works very smoothly and I still enjoy the benefit of the back-lighting and easy read letters. I wish I had done this easy fix when I first received it.

I have not yet tried to remove mine. Although a couple weeks with it on the plastic started to turn a yellow tinge.

The keys ar not glossy, but the rest of the keyboard is. That is the only thing I'm unhappy about with mine. I don't have any white blotches, but it shows fingerprints and dust. I'm still extremely happy with mine, though. The great typing experience outweighs having to clean it periodically.

If I remember correctly, it's part of the leather and can't be taken off. In any event the way the case causes the typing to malfunction, i wouldn't recommend the case under any circumstances anyway.

The keyboard can not be removed. It's glued on the cover, unless u want to ripe it out. Although I'm sure it would look ugly afterwards.

I have had no problems with the keys imprinting on the screen. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am a little slow getting to my emails. Take care.

I don't know. How long have you had it? My keyboard died shortly after I bought it - maybe I overjuiced it, I don't know. I had it replaced, only to have to get another replacement after the middle keys in all three rows stopped working, which actually happened twice. In other words, I'm on my third keyboard (after a lot of hassle getting ZAGG to replace the keyboard since I could not longer do it through the store where I bought it). Now guess what? The middle keys on this keyboard have all stopped working. Never buying the product again.

Same issue with the mint case. So sad, because I love the colour, but it's turning all brownish around the bumper edges... sigh. Might have to get the black one, so that stains won't show. Have not tried cleaning it yet, but if I find a good solution I will post it.

I'm so glad you asked! You can remove the 1000h(a) keys just by pulling them up. Lift from the front and kind of peel back while wiggling a little. They'll pop off fairly easily. But wait, there's more! If you exchange and remap several keys you 'might' discover the configuration Asus should have used in the first place. Hint, check this forum page for a picture: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=50250%20or%20http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=399326BTW that forum is full of great information about the 1000h(a) series.Cheers

Hi Bradley, Sorry about the delay here. I did have to go back and try the keyboard once again to find out what I can share with you. The keys work great. But unlike some of the high-end Logitech keyboard covers, the keys are raised, meaning if you are fastidious like me, it'd bother you to see dirt that would get underneath the keys. Having said that if you keep your cover closed after each use, you should be able to keep them clean for a long time. Hope this helped. Good luck!

The space bar issue is one that can occur to the space, shift, keypad +, keypad enter and keypad insert keys. The problem is that underneath said keys there is a thin rod running across with 2 little plastic parts holding the rod onto the key itself. This supports the wider key size, but when one of the little plastic parts pops out of the underside of the key, it will block the keys downward motion and will not allow the key to depress evenly, as the rod is only attached on one side. You will hear a rattle if you give it a shake. Pay shipping costs and wait for Razer to click the key back onto its rod then send it back, or just do it yourself... The issue is bound to happen some day- I hope this will be of some use to someone.

I applied the button, hated it, and removed it within a few hours. It left a slight amount residue. Barely visible, but you could feel it with your thumb. A Q-Tip with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol removed it easily. Honestly, I just had to get used to the Verizon logo. The raised button applique was just too cheesy for me.

I've seen some inquiries about color peeling, is that still happening, do you still recommend the case even taking this in mind?Does every model fade to the same color once they peel? If they don't which one should I choose to reduce the peeling effect?Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions, I really like the design of this case but this is holding me back from buying it at the moment.

I have not had any problems with that. Soft keys and are a hair above the screen when closed. You will like it I sure do.

Can you just turn it around so the curve is in the same place as your keyboard curve? Can anyone try that and let me know how it works?
