Do you like how my Unicomp looks?
« on: Mon, 24 September 2012, 05:59:08 »


Dyed the keys with RIT black looking for a dark gray, but they ended up brown...After a couple different configurations, I decided on this one. What do you guys think?

Fancy dyeing you did there... looks nice even if it's brown instead of gray.

Looks good. Keep the brown.

I wouldn't try to make other keys the same brown to match. Dying things to match is next to impossible if not done in the same batch at the same time.
