Such an expensive keyboard with such a badly designed connector... If you for some reason don't want a refund, use this.

Corsair really put their minds together and designed a flexible plastic prong 4mm thick which is supposed to flex and put it on a less than 1mm thick base. This causes the palm rest's thin plastic to snap within a few moves of the keyboard. The palm rest does not hold to the keyboard firmly enough either. Even magnets are a better solution Corsair!
 


Mine broke in just a few days.
 

I provide two files:

  • Support - For the case where the plastic just lost its flexibility or has a crack, it provides additional support to hold the keyboard firmer.
     
  • Support with prong - Has a complete replacement prong, which works better than the original - use it if your prong already broke completely. (You may need to cut some remains with a knife to make it smooth before you fit the replacement)

    If you managed to break the other side or even both sides, just mirror it in the slicer.

 

Originally i wanted to glue it to the keyboard but it fits so perfectly i didn't even need to.
Now i can lift and move my keyboard together with the palm rest without worry.
