100 FAKE KEYBOARD KEYS WHOLESALE LOT OF 100

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270524276934

Why oh why do i want this?



Anyone know if these are solid or hollow behind the adhesive? Can they be glued to stems?

Looks like you and I are thinking along similar lines...

Actually I just remembered, I thought there was a magnetic variant of these that stuck to your fridge?

Perhaps...*perhaps*.... a bit of work with a Dremel-type tool may make them useable as key caps for our 'M' type keyboards...?
Likely not deep enough, from a closer look at the advert photo.

That price is certainly interesting....hmmmmm....

I bought some a while ago.  If you're a non-smoker you'll want to open the bag somewhere to let it ventilate for a while.

SOS, Help, Friday, Shut Up, Happy Place, peace sign, rock on hand sign, lightbulb, $, 5:00, thumbs up, "cofee", coffee mug, clover, etc.

I tried cleaning out the guts of it with a carpenters knife and needle nose pliers but it still doesn't fit on a Model M.

Yeah, I've had that problem too. But fortunately, I've demolished a model M and broken a few key caps, so I was prepared to go all the way. You don't fit the new cap onto the IBM key cap like lovers spooning; You trim away the model M key cap, leaving only the slider.



This is why God invented Superglue.

Very nice. Now do 100 more of them, and get back to us with pictures of the first double shot Model M.

THAT is a delightful idea (More to come)!

Question: is it still "Otaku" if the keys have irrelevant legends instead of being blank?

No toupees?



Oh, "touchee", gotcha.

(not my dog...I'd never subject her to that, not to mention it's the wrong breed)
