Title: FILCO paint mod
Post by: modbot on Fri, 17 January 2014, 09:36:40
Hi guys,
this is our first attempt at a keyboard, we usually do things like laptops/computers but with our love of keyboards we've been wanting to do this for a long long time. We went with a pearlescent white with red blood splatter, pretty hard to capture the iridescent effect but we're quite happy with the result and will probably do another one soon.

That's really impressive, it has a nice thick look that kind of resembles actual blood.

We haven't really thought about prices yet, but we can definitely do a 60% board. To be honest i m more concerned about the shipping costs at this point, Ill sort this out over the weekend and get back to you on price
