I just painted my keyboard white (Max Keyboard X8)
« on: Sun, 13 January 2013, 12:08:45 »
Whatdya guys think!?  :cool: The fricking plasti-dip nozzle broke half-way or I would have lapped a few more layers on it. The best part is that I can just peel off the paint if I don't like it. Plasti-dip is surprisingly durable...it's used to make tool handles, although the coating here is extremely thin.

Nice!  And I believe we have the same speakers!  Creative labs something something (with the dust cover removed).  ^-^

In fact, I am trying to replace them very soon. They've been loyal to me for half a decade (Sounded decent for their compact size).

You see that HK825 pre-amp on the right in the first picture... I am just preparing to get some B&W CM1 or similar on my desk :-)

That looks plain amazing. I might want to try that with either my leopold or my rosewill. Probably my rosewill though. Any tips for doing it though?

Also, that is one amazing view you have there. I'm so jealous.

Looks like a new board, real nice job.
Maybe I should start painting rather than buying...

Nice - the classis black keycaps on white look :)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
