Keyboard Keycap Paint Mod!

Go to solution Solved by XTankSlayerX,

So I think I might paint my keycaps white on my kailh (blues) keyboard, but I'm not sure what paint to use and how to do it. I want a stealth white look.

 

Also I don't know whether to use plasti dip or not, or if primer is necessary. If anybody has done painting before (cases etc) then please help me with the process and steps I need to take to paint my keycaps.

Yo Gavmeister.

 

If you have the money, look up replacement key caps. I know there's a large range of replacement MX keycaps, but not sure about Kailh.

mx keycaps fit on kailh.

They use the same keys but they are not really available in the UK and shipping costs a lot too. Also painting is much cheaper than buying keycaps  :D

Seems to rub off after long use.

If I do mod this (maybe in the half term) then I will use some more durable paint :)
