My keyboard just arrived, and I was wondering how can I print my handle?
« on: Mon, 19 August 2013, 08:09:19 »
I had ordered a Filco Majestouch-2 Tenkeyless(Cherry MX Blue) a while back, it finally arrived.

Here are some pics of it:









Excuse my Easter themed table cover, it's just a temporary thing. Now I was wondering, how can I have my SC2 alias printed on my keyboard above the arrow keys like on the following 2 pictures:



Thanks in advance!

those look more like metallic stickers that you can get custom made. There was a guy lurking around here a few months back who was doing something similar to that.

Yeah, contact Shadovved here on GH about custom metallic stickers. It might be pricey to only get a few, though.

Thanks for the replies, good to know that it's a sticker. A friend of mine mentioned something about hydroprinting(not sure if it's spelled/or even called like that.) and it sounded quite complicated.

Good choice on the filco! I like your mouse and mousepad too! :)

He likely means engraving using a waterjet machine; similar to using a laser engraving machine.

I would suggest waterslide decal. You can make them yourself on any home laser or inkjet, and you can print full color. Same kind of decals that are common in model cars, planes, etc.

How to do that on an inkjet? Aren't those inks water-soluble? I would love to know.

Thanks Danule! And IvanIvanovich, about the waterslide... is it easy(or even possible at all) to remove it if I do something wrong? Like in case I smudge something up.

Thanks in advance.
