Title: Painting a Realforce plate?
Post by: Mooksie on Mon, 27 July 2015, 17:32:41

I remember when I took apart a novatouch that I could easily pop out the switch housings. Is this the same for the Realforce 87u? If so I might try to paint it or get it powdercoated. Don't worry I won't do a half ass job and ruin a perfectly good RF.

Hi Mooksie. Just search for 'Realforce Disassembly' on YouTube and you will come across an excellent video by Deskthority. The keyboard in the video appears to be a Realforce 91U, but I may be wrong. However, the disassembly procedure for a Realforce 87U should be the same.
