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.

“Wise statesmen as they were, they knew the tendency of prosperity to breed tyrants, and so they established these great self-evident truths, that when in the distant future some man, some faction, some interest, should set up the doctrine that none but rich men, or none but white men, were entitled to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, their posterity might look up again to the Declaration of Independence and take courage to renew the battle which their fathers began — so that truth, and justice, and mercy, and all the humane and Christian virtues might not be extinguished from the land; so that no man would hereafter dare to limit and circumscribe the great principles on which the temple of liberty was being built.”
