Brown thick PBT modifiers
« on: Tue, 14 May 2013, 15:09:11 »
Is there such a thing as brown (or some shade of dark beige) for thick PBT modifier keys?

I am not shy to try dying keys with RIT or Dylon, but I've seen some mixed success results mentioned on-line.  Like keys being dyed unevenly, imperfections showing up as stress marks, etc.

I'd love a set, even if incomplete: things like the Enter keys, Shift, Ctrl, etc.

Reply #14 in this thread is very good. PBT will stand up to boiling, so you can get a good soak.

Do be sure that you clean the keys very well, especially for any kind of grease.

They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
