Title: Looking for a hello kitty keycap set.
Post by: Angelus343 on Fri, 10 October 2014, 00:43:23

Was looking for a hello kitty keycap set, would prefer translucent lettering for pink LEDs. I was thinking it would be like these but with a hello kitty ESC key or something.

A couple years ago, some guy in China was dying white keycaps, then laser etching past the dye to reveal white legends, such as Hello Kitty. It looks pretty good, I have to admit, but those caps are long-since sold and gone. If you have access to a laser cutter, this might be a good home-made route. Hm. I have a laser cutter... hmmmmm...
