Painting my Keyboard

[youlox]

The Keyboard I have is a bit of an oldie, it's a Logitech Deluxe Access Keyboard.

It still works perfectly to this day, and I've been meaning to paint it for a while but I want to know exactly how to go about it.

I've already taken it apart and gave it a good clean recently, so any tips or ideas how I can go about it?

I have heard PlastiDip is a good way to go.

@youlox I don't have an answer, but I'm using the same keyboard. I love it  Also welcome to the LTT community. You should follow your posts to get notifications when someone replies.

hmm I'll pay attention to this, my keyboard is very boring too...

yea just cover everything you don't want painted with painters tape and use plastidip, that way if you mess up or don't like it its not permanent.

I don't really have an answer but I imagine however you do it you're going to looses the key labels on the top. So you're either going to have to live with that or put them back on your self.

@EarthboundHero Thanks!

 

@Preston I'm probably going to keep the keys the same, I'm just going to paint the case/shell, whatever the term is, of the keyboard white.

WELCOME TO THE LTT FORUMS!!!

no, @EarthboundHero beat me to it!!!

Also, try changing the theme to Night theme at the bottom right of the page above the Linus Media Group words.

Seems interesting, will follow along!

Ahh right. That makes more sense. I thought you were painting keys. Good luck!

@Flight1sim Thanks for letting me know about the night theme, so much easier on the eyes.

but as you can see, @OP's text isnt automatic, so its hard to see in night theme

 

@youlox, can you change the font color to automatic for us night theme users? Thanks

DO NOT USE PLASTIDIP. It is a nightmare on keyboards.
