Title: Gray Unicomp Keycaps and Dyeing
Post by: nyarmith on Wed, 29 April 2015, 15:08:47

I know that white is preferred, but I wanted a full classic keyboard rather than the ultraclassic. Do the gray unicomp keyaps have any limitations as far as dyeing is concerned? I will be receiving my board this weekend and plan on dyeing it based on these notes: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35444.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35444.0)

Any feedback/rants about dyeing appreciated. Thanks for reading!  : )

Dyeing will always go darker. Unicomp's gray is a very "cool" gray, almost bluish.

Unless you are going into the blue/green region of the spectrum, I recommend keeping the stock keys and ordering a $30 set of classic color keys ("pearl" and "pebble")

Perhaps I misunderstand, when I think of "classic" I am thinking of color rather than shape.
