    I almost never use a touchpad if I can avoid it, but that is a nice mod. Would be good to do that on a brand new machine to keep it looking new. Good job @encor50 :D

    Pic isn't loading, but I get the idea. Nice work :D There was a guy who made custom touchpad skins but I lost his info. I got one for my MSI GX640 a while back before selling it. It isn't clear though for those with lighted touchpads but it looked and felt awesome.
