Gateway 2000 Anykey with Blue LEDs and Red Escape Key - Anyone ever try to dye these?
« on: Mon, 20 February 2012, 13:07:09 »
Just wanted to post what I've done so far. Super Bright Blue LED's replaced the stock Green LED lights. Also, Ordered a Red escape key from WASD keyboards. I want to die them, but since I don't know a ton about the different plastics, etc... wanted to know if anyone here has any experience using RIT DYE on these keys? Kindly advise and thanks.

Bad idea. The keys are almost certainly ABS, and ABS and Rit Dye do not mix (you'll get warped keys and such).

Is there any proven method to dye ABS keys then? I may have to try buying WASD and arrow keys. However, there are size/fitting issues with the layout.
