Huntsman vs Huntsman Elite

So, I know the differences between Huntsman and Huntsman Elite (basically the media keys & dial and the wrist rest) what I'd really like to know is: If you already own the Huntsman Elite and wanted the pink quartz version of the regular Huntsman, do you think that you could still "attach" the wrist rest to it? Even though the regular Huntsman wouldn't have the magnets to hold it in place. Or, same situation, except it wouldn't be quite as long, perhaps the pink matching wrist rest from the Blackwidow TE in pink quartz could still "attach" without the magnets, just with some extra keyboard at both ends??

I know, I'm stretching it a bit, but I'm trying to justify replacing my pink quartz Blackwidow TE with the new pink quartz Huntsman. I couldn't care less about the dial and media keys, I do have the Huntsman Elite and I never really used them. However, I absolutely fell in love with the purple switches!!! But, at the same time I can't really imagine using any of the keyboards without the wrist rest, that's why I always choose keyboards that have them these days ....

So, yeah - I'd love to hear experiences and/or opinions on whether or not you think these could be compatible just enough to be usable without being difficult or uncomfortable. Thanks for your opinions and any info you may have!! (especially if any of you have upgraded from a non wrist rest keyboard to a wrist rest keyboard and can tell me how they fit together. lol)

For sure the wristwrest you know alredy will not fit becose of the pin stick out of it. You can try to find replacement but from razer is only black ;/ You can do two things try to fit something to it and use the black version or lose warranty and paint to match the pink keybord.

I had completely missed the pins from the Huntsman Elite -- makes me swap over to my wrist rest for the Razer Blackwidow Chroma V2, there's no pins in that one, just the angled "ledge" that is magnetic.
