Thx man!   :)  Probably, what keyboard did you have in mind? The adhesive sticks best to even surfaces, so if you have a soft touch handrest or something like that, then you probably won't get the vinyl to stick to those parts, but other than that, as long you clean the keyboard properly you should be just fine.  :)

After seeing the first couple of pictures I thought it was going to be a complete car crash but it turned out really well.

Nothing to see here - move along.

Very nice man

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

Cool looks :) , but the plastic feeling would ruin it for me :(

Does it feel that different from cured resin?

Thanx bro! Glad I could help  :)  It's been so long since I made this, I thought the tread died a long time ago...  (sorry for extremely late reply)  Hope you were satisfied with the result! Still use mine still no problem with it, adhesive still holds up nicely after 2 years. 

Hope you're having a nice weekend!  :)

If you are still looking, I believe WASDKeyboards allows you to upload an image to have printed on top of your keycaps. It wouldn't be CF textured but it would give you the look at least.

Thinking of replacing my keyboard and mouse in a bit, but thanks for the info! :) 

Good to know for future modding projects as I will probably come up with something fun to do with with my next keyboard as well :D
