I recently bought the TTsport Poseidon Z to replace my (dead) Filco because I kinda liked the design and it was really cheap, but only to realise that the Poseidon Z's backlight is on by default. I know you can turn it off, but the setting doesn't stay upon a reboot.
The problem I have with the default backlight setting is that it's far too bright and it's really distracting for my eyes. I would be okay if it were to be much dimmer, so I was wondering what's the best way to make my translucent caps opaque?
Basically the letters on the Poseidon Z are translucent, so I just need something to cover it up. I tried using a Sharpie but the light still shines through. I've seen some ideas over here:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=66567.0 but I was wondering if there was something more elegant (i.e. without needing to shove something below it that may affect the feel of the keycaps when you press it down). What I'm thinking of is something like a Sharpie but thick enough to absorb 90% of the light. Does such a paint exist?
I know I could probably use my Filco keycaps on the Poseidon Z, but the problem is that the modifier keys can't be replaced, and I'm a sucker for consistency...
Many thanks!
