Now, you may notice that when you try to put the LED's on your buttons, they don't really... stay on them. This is where those tiny rubber bands come in! This print came out way better than I expected! It's heavyweight, excellent quality, and the colors are true to what I expected! Thanks FA! BinaryDigit DO NOT REMOVE THE FEMALE ENDS! Your wires should all look like this example wire by the time you're done. Now, you can choose the button insert cut to match the pushbutton you intend to use. This allows the insert to fit snugly within the cap. Brands and Model with Artwork Caps There are six (6) Phillips head panel screws located underneath the Panthera EVO. These hold the tinted acrylic cover in place. Each one is accessed using a mini precision screwdriver. Anything larger will risk stripping the screw. Turn carefully - the screw will take a bit of effort to loosen on first go, but will give way. Once the screws are removed, find a safe place to temporarily store them as they are quite small and easy to lose.

We cannot replicate this panel, so when servicing the unit upside down, we recommend that you place it on a soft cloth or towel as it tends to scuff easily on hard surfaces. Removing the original Razer pushbuttons requires disconnecting the wires that are attached to the .110" terminals on each button. It is recommended that you do not attempt to pull with a wrench or your finger; the design of the button microswitch can easily bend and distort from the force, possibly damaging the button terminals. Instead, use needle-nose pliers to grasp the disconnects by their tabs (circled in green), then squeeze in and upward. If the tabs are pressed in correctly, the disconnect should lift with just a bit of effort. If you find much resistance, retry pinching the pliers around the tabs and squeeze again. Often, you will have several options to personalize your control panel, such as button layout, removal of control panel or screws in some models, button label etching, and text etching.

Unreliable buttons and time-consuming customization hold it back.

Ok, so I searched EVERYWHERE on the internet for a tutorial on how to add kaimana LED's to a razer panthera, and there was only one post by u/carpedro from about a year ago. That post laid some very important groundwork on how to approach modding the panthera, and also gave some information such as button diagrams and other important discoveries. However, some of his explanations were a tad confusing, and some things in the tutorial could be simplified to make the whole process a lot easier. You're basically done! To make your life a billion times easier, use two of the screws you set aside from the beginning and screw down the razer pcb with them. Use the remaining two screws to secure the Breakout to the other holes in the case. Just make sure not to screw down the breakout too much, as there's no protective casing at the bottom, and you don't want to accidentally damage it. Zip-tie or shove the wires in whatever way you please, and you're good to go! Pushbutton manufacturers such as Sanwa, Seimitsu, Crown and GamerFinger have each produced specific models with a clear or translucent plastic cap and flat plunger. These are often used to display a graphical insert, allowing you to enhance the button's appearance. That said, each button manufacturer has designed the artwork cap with a different diameter than their competitors. For example, GamerFinger's artwork cap has a diameter that is slightly larger than Seimitsu or Sanwa. An insert cut for a Sanwa artwork cap will fit loosely when inserted into the GamerFinger artwork cap. This is an undesirable result that can produce a white or colored ring around the insert.
