Gray Unicomp Keycaps and Dyeing
« on: Wed, 29 April 2015, 15:08:47 »
I know that white is preferred, but I wanted a full classic keyboard rather than the ultraclassic. Do the gray unicomp keyaps have any limitations as far as dyeing is concerned? I will be receiving my board this weekend and plan on dyeing it based on these notes: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35444.0

Any feedback/rants about dyeing appreciated. Thanks for reading!  : )

Dyeing will always go darker. Unicomp's gray is a very "cool" gray, almost bluish.

Unless you are going into the blue/green region of the spectrum, I recommend keeping the stock keys and ordering a $30 set of classic color keys ("pearl" and "pebble")

Perhaps I misunderstand, when I think of "classic" I am thinking of color rather than shape.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
