I want to do this to my keyboard.

Can I pull it off of the keyboard? Can I put it on curves?

The keyboard is apple adjustable keyboard.

I'm not 100% positive but I'm prety sure you can work around curves. Speaking of pulling off - that depends on the wrap itsef, some are more or less permanent, some allow easy removal.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

A lot of people CF wrap their keyboards, and the results are pretty good.

Here's a good one: http://i.imgur.com/HY9P2mp.jpg

How do you think it would look on my apple adjustable keyboard?

Do you think it would clash with the beige keys?

Damn that looks great,

Give us pics if you decide to try it, OP

I feel like it might not look good with the beige keys

Actually thats a good point, could you mod the cps perhaps?

Don't know, don't want to break them, can't get new ones.

I want to be able to renove the wrap, as it's a collectors item.

I don't know anything about wraps, but now that you say that it would be a shame if you ruined the keyboard if it wasn't removable. I also presume that custom keycaps are not really a thing that exists for that  keyboard? 

 

I think you certainly could make it look good, not sure it's worth it though, if its an original though :P 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

I would suggest not wrapping it if you don't want any damage or residue. But if you do want to anyway, use a heat gun or hairdryer to stretch the wrap around curves. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that demonstrate how to use vinyl wrap and the like.

Hmm not sure, I don't want to damage it, it's worth 100$ now, more later, but, I got it for free...

If you got it for free, I would actually suggest selling it and using that money to buy a newer keyboard. If the one you have isn't mechanical, I highly recommend getting one, but do a little bit of research on switches first.

I know that this isn't really what you are looking for but don't rule out plastidip if the carbon fiber turns out to be a nogo, you can still make it look pretty decent with plastidip and it will for sure come off

It is mechanical, and I have a k70, but I like the free one better.

Didn't think about that...

I'll see if I can find something I like, there are many colors
