Title: Customizing/drawing on blank keycaps
Post by: Terbografx on Fri, 16 October 2015, 04:10:57

I think it would be fun to draw or paint on blank keycaps. Have any of you ever tried this? What would be the optimal type of ink to handle all that typing mileage?

I was thinking kinda the same thing, painting over transparent keycaps so the backlight gets colored nicely.
Might try it somewhere in the near future, but I would like to hear what people have to say about types of paint etc.

And painting a key cap with a transparent paint and then applying  a dye color?
