The Idea
After turning my AEKII's switches into ghetto green alps, which I absolutely love the easy actuation and bottoming clack, I want to venture further into mods and make this keyboard 100% one of a kind mine. I think the switch mod was great, but now it's time to give it some wow.
LED Modification
The green is ok for the vintage look, but I want to do purple. It's my favorite color, and lends a nice space-age feel to whatever it's applied to. (White is my secondary choice.) I can solder/de-solder, but I don't really know much about what voltage this keyboard will take as I do not own a multimeter. Has anyone ever replaced their LEDs in this board, or known someone that has?
Dyeing Keys
Has anyone done ripster's acetone test to see if the keys are PBT or ABS? I remember a while back I dyed my old AEKII and then gave it to a friend before I moved for his performa as I did not yet have a ADB to USB adapter. I do now (Thanks, Thereferenc -- sorry if I butchered your name.) and want to dye mod my board. It looked ok then, a little light, but I dont think I left it in long enough.
Any info will be of excellent help! Thanks geeks :)
