    Has anyone modified their g73's keyboard yet? Could you please share some pictures of your new keyboard?

    I might modify my one soon :)

    Dude have you used a Logitech G series keyboard? (Like my G19) Which you can change the color to anything you like? Its freaking awesome.

    Since we can't get that on the G73 we can at least modify it to match the other lights on the laptop so why not.

    You know, you might be on to something there. If I could take the LED screen off my old g15 keyboard, cut a hole in the palm rest of this beast (probably the right side) and fit it in there nice a flush so I couldn't feel it while I'm typing, that would be pretty cool. I could program anything I want to show up there.

    But of course I would never do that to my own computer, but it would still be a cool mod for someone else to do. :D

    I have mine light baby blue - not quite white, not quite blue. Looks better than the stock white IMO

    Because some of us actually care about our eyes. :rolleyes:

    XoticPC can place LED backlights on the G73JW and JH if the customer chooses to order it so. Customizing your laptop may decrease the resale value but it can also serve as a theft deterrent depending on how unique your laptop is. I personally like the tone and brightness of most purple LED lights; Not too bright, not too dark, and easy on my eyes.

    Yeah I used the clear solophane on mine and the lights are all blue. Looks WAY better then the stock white with all the other buttons blue.

    I like the white lights...putting blue or anything doesn't seem like it would fit. That's just me though.
