Keyboard Keycap Paint Mod!

[SillyNewb]

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.

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.

EDIT: 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

eBay has a lot of replacement keycaps.

Seems to rub off after long use.

Thanks

Thanks

The problem with that is that the author says that the paint rubs off

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