Does anyone have any experience in trying to color topre PBT spacebars?
I know it works pretty well with regular 1U keycaps, but spacebar is a different thing. It's too long and it starts turning into clay even if you heat it up with a hairdryer, let alone boiling hot water.
I mean, it's difficult enough to find a perfectly straight PBT spacebar all by itself, but then trying to play with it at high temperatures seems like a risky business.
It is my experience that even extremely small variations in shape of the spacebar can make a difference between a good thock and irritating rattle.
Has anyone made any experiments?
Moreover, how does dye withstand constant wear?
What about UV resistance?
