Logitech K375s Foot Replacement

thingiverse

There are dozens of designs available for broken Logitech keyboard support feet already. I tried few but none fitted my K375s variant of the keyboard as in all tested cases the side bolts were too big and wouldn't fit into original holes. Now there were two options - either mechanically enlarge the original holes or quickly draft a version of my own. The latter option wins and brings about even some improvement. First a very quick replacement = Solid - was crafted so that I could continue with my default keyboard and could toss away the backup one again. Then I tried to mimic the original design closer - so Hollowed version was produced. The final version that works best for me is the Robust. It can't fold back - it permanently sits in place supporting the keyboard in original angle without an (easy) option to fold it flat (other than dismantling the feet that is). However - if you're like me - I actually never ever used the folding option deliberately. The keyboard just sits on its spot - no need to stow it away flattened - and I always type on it in angled position. So the only situation when the original feet folded was unintentionally in a very annoying manner - typically one folded and the keyboard started to wobble. Lucky me that I actually broke the original - much happier with the replacement now, works like a charm! So to conclude: both the Solid and the Hollowed will work just fine keeping the original functionality of allowing the keyboard to fold flat. The Hollowed version could support adding the small rubber band on its bottom - the space is there but I never tried. Definitely the winner for me is the Robust version - it replaces the original feet without a need for modifying the keyboard's original body yet it is now stable without the feet folding down unwantedly. The drawback of the Robust version = the keyboard can't be (easily) fold down to flat position - doesn't bother me a tiny bit (never felt a need for this in past few years).Now, when it doesn't fold at all represents improved quality by all means!
