Can we color PBT caps?
« on: Thu, 28 April 2016, 15:21:16 »
Hi guys :D new question here :D

I`m searching a spacebar for my fc660m old model, but it`s impossibile to find. And the mod with glue is not easy to do well. So i`m thinking...is it possibile to color PBT keycaps? I really want a perfect green or white spacebar  ;D

You can! There are guides for it https://imgur.com/a/P6RHv . You might have a hard time getting the *exact* color you want without some experimentation.

I wouln't try and use sandpaper to change the feel of caps. Just get some ABS caps or a smoother PBT set.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"
