I love my blank keyboard except for the fact that I can't type the number row yet. One of the reasons I bought it was for the "coolness" factor and to scare off anyone else who wanted to try using my computer.

Get yourself some blank "pebble" colored caps and use them for ~, 5-8, -, and =. The contrasting colors will let you see where the numbers are without legends.

That's a funny yet heartwarming video. I can tell that's a close family. Is he a GHer?

Only problem I saw is he needs to go with a better LED overlay. I love Unicomp but that logo is just so bad.

Yeah, not sure why he didn't include a better one with the order. I ordered a nice one for my Spacesaver before they even publicised the alternative LED covers.
