I'm very happy with how this turned out. Purple is my favorite!

Very nice!

What caps are those?

What kind of painting setup did you use?

Very well done!

The slight difference between case and cap colour enhances the look.  Plus the blank DSA really suits the scheme :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

This looks neat :) I'm also interested in what kind of paint you used and how you did it!

Did you sand down the keyboard to let the paint stick right or did you just paint it like as is?
