How to darken white ABS caps?

[Geroximo]

Hey guys,

I got a white spacebar and a light grey capslock from WASD Keyboards. Sadly, they are too bright and don't fit the used Cherry PBT Dye-subs.
Do you know how I can slightly darken them? Make them somehow look older, so they fit the old cherry caps?

They'll wear with use. There's no real easy way to do it.

You could artificially yellow it. Under direct sunlight, checking it doesn't deform because of heat, or get a UV lamp like the ones used in nail salons and throw it in (protect your skin and eyes, don't overexpose to them) or buy a led lamp like the ones used in dentistry.

ABS will just melt under heat, not warp.

Good to know

I suppose you could dye it, though it might be hard to find a dye in that light of a beige/grey

But letting it yellow in the sun would probably be better

Leave it directly in the sun. ABS yellows with extended exposure to UV.
