Your right, I've never seen anybody lube a case before. :eek:

perhaps I should contact mkawa and get one of those ps2 adapters while I'm at it.

 :D  Maybe if you get 2, you can get TWICE the nkro!

Honestly, though, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Well technically I've got 7 tops. One is a filco and will be left alone. One I'm sending to another member. So I'll have 5 to 'work' on!

You can improve on that, take a file to it, and then some sandpaper of various grit.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

the texture should come through future layers. UNLESS you layer a LOT over it and then smooth the upper layers with an abrasive. that's going to be seriously sweet looking if you can find some complimentary colors and then a gloss coat. i vote to leave it textured.

+1 textured, otherwise it might turn out to be Das SpAmRaYboard.
