Title: I found a tasty treat
Post by: Slyce on Tue, 28 February 2012, 09:44:46

Stay with me, it will become clear why I am in the keycap subforum.

So...

I have been on here lurking and reading and mainly use this site to buy keycaps (ohgodwhy?).

I also used you guys to help me decide which keyboard to buy for gaming.

Now you guys have slowly converted me.... As a child I loved making models and fiddly **** like that, probably still do. This itch however has not been scratched recently....

Now I was in the storage are at work and I found and old Viglen mechanical keyboard. I popped off a keycap and it seems to have ALPS switches? I think. (I am a meer noob.

Now long story short I want to bring this keyboard back to it's former glory.... I have read all the material on cleaning keyboards and the deep cleaning will be starting soon!

However I can't find any info on restoring sun damaged keycaps. Is this doable? or are they dead to me?!

Thanks
