I replaced the tramp stamp sticker and Keycaps on my K70 and I think it turned out great!

So this morning, I spilled this ENTIRE MUG full of hard worked for french press coffee, which I wanted to drink so bad, all over my Black Widow Ultimate (No never got the chroma sadly)  Anyways, the whole cup went into this keyboard.  I quickly unplugged it after spam typing for a second with rage (even tho no characters showed up).  So I cleaned off my desk (which is a playing card table, cause college) and thankfully nothing else got soaked in this delicious coffee.  Anyways It wasn't working, like anyone would do, it took it apart voiding the warranty.  My fingers are still raw from prying up all the keys.  So after i got it stripped to just the green metal and PCB I set it up to a fan to dry, with low expectations.  I had to find a way to kill time and since my keyboard was already apart, I figured I'd clean it, shout out to Slim for that video! (which I had to search for by emailing the alphabet from my phone to myself then copy pasting the letters cause screw on screen keyboard).  So after that I saw the from...Just sitting there....Alone....
So with more time to spare, I walked around the block to the Lowe's right by my house, picked up some spray paint, And went at it.  I like the look, this isn't going on here for your approval just so someone else can do it with a cool idea too.  So reassembled the keyboard after the paint and PCB dried, and somehow it works.  Here you go, the picture of my finished and working "beauty."  
Original / Picture from the internet (didn't take before picture cause I wasn't expecting to spill coffee all over it)
Now (sorry for the LG G3 camera and the mess)
The Perp (yes that is the coffee I was so dearly looking forward to drinking, The picture was taken for snapchat and after it spilled I saved it from my story.)
P.S. I am colorblind, I chose blue cause my H440 is blue (I think) I would LOVE to see other people do fun stuff like this.  I will try to respond ASAP if anyone has any questions, thanks!

the sound of blues is the best thing ever, i'm even considering spending some of my own money to get one for work. I might skimp and order something cheap with kailh switches though. 

Actually, I was quite prejudiced against Kailh switches, I've since changed my mind after actually buying and using a board with Kailh Blue (this does NOT apply to Razer switches which I'll ALWAYS dislike). My Armaggeddon MKA-5R TKL RGB board with Kailh Blue is responsible for this change of heart. I've been using it constantly and it feels like a Cherry Blue, perhaps a mild difference in the 'tock' when struck. I'd gotten it because it's RGB and TKL, and cost less than Cherry MX RGB TKL's from the established brands. I love the brushed aluminum top plate on the KB......a feature I don't think any of the other established brands has.
 
I'm using a HHKB 2 on my main rig, a Leopold FC660M MX Clear on my 2nd rig (now outta commission, the mobo is in Taiwan for repairs), on my FX8350 rig, I'm using the Armaggeddon MKA-5R, and on my Phenom II 1100T rig, I've just swapped out my YoTH MX Green for my KBP V6000 MX Green.

welcomed the pok3r into the family. both are MX blues with pok3r being blacks...time to convince myself I need browns/greens next and I'll be set

kind of makes me want to make a mirrored keyboard lol

no thats how things look in the southern hemisphere. 

$40 is kinda a starting price for lower end caps. Massdrop always has good stuff cycling through on their site. Otherwise Mechanical keyboards.com usually has a decent selection. Below is a recent set I just ordered though massdrop.
 
 

I am currently using an IBM Model M 1396790 which uses Buckling Springs and I love it! It is the best typing experience i´ve ever had, although it is not very good for gaming (it´s not bad, but I would rather get a Cherry MX Blue if I were you). I have modified the keycaps to the layout I am used to (I bought a bunch on EBay). I definitely recommend this keyboard if you type alot!

I've given a Hackintosh a go in the past. Worked great. Would recommend, if you like MacOS. Would not recommend buying from Apple. My only concern is support. But, you give that up the moment you go Apple not through Apple. Just be ready to do some software tweaking every now and then. Hardware isn't really ever a problem nowadays, considering that all the hardware is the same these days.

Whoever said blues were bad for gaming is stupid. No switch is better or worse for a specific purpose. For the most part it's all just personal preference. 

So after not letting linus’s review of the logitec g910 put me off i purchased the keyboard and i am absolutely loving the key caps and switches are great for when I am gaming and i have not noticed that I type any slower than with a regular keycap or any less accurately for that matter so if anyone is thinking of getting one but feeling pout off id say do it.
If anything I would say my typing speed has increased and my accuracy has got the better (they are definitely quicker than my cherry mx brown keyboards).
I also have a roccat pro mechanical gaming keyboard with cherry mx browns the romer g switches are much nicer.
 

Mhm, I don't remember how reds feel, but I god damn love the click and overall feel of the blues,
