Keyboards / Re: CM Quickfire Rapid keyboard mod - can I sandblast it?
« Last post by phinix on Fri, 17 April 2026, 17:10:06 »Following this thread to see how it worked out. I have 2 of these tops that have gone all sticky and are deteriorating. I usually just swap out to a new topBut now I'm on my last one! I did sand down and paint a CM board but I don't think it was the rubberized version. I will say... if you plan to hand sand and paint it, you really need to be meticulous about sanding. You will probably see any swirl marks left from the sanding when you paint.
I would prefer powder coating but that is not so popular done on plastic. So would need to take it to car repair and get them to paint it, like few layers.
