Zinc Metallic Keycaps
« on: Wed, 08 October 2014, 14:46:17 »
I just discovered metallic keycaps today. Originally I had bought some RIT dye so I could dye my ABS plastic keycaps off my Corsair K70 gold but I think I might go this route. My question is how likely is a metallic zinc keycap able to absorb dye that works mainly for clothes and some plastic? (I've seen fans and plastic keycaps dyed with it)? If that's not possible does anyone know anywhere where I can get gold keycaps to match my black/gold build? Thanks!

and FYI dye only works when dying a lighter color darker, you won't be able to dye black keycaps.
