i'm not saying this will make your keyboard the best lookin on the block, but it does look nice....

i dont know what KBs this will work on also... i have the natural elite KB by M$, and it looks nice...

there is a small indentation on the keyboard where it goes around the sets of keys...... if you get a sharpie and just run it along the groove, it looks pretty cool..... i spraypainted my keyboard a bright-goldish-yellow and using a blue sharpie did this. look nice...


have fun moddin,

Can you post a pic? I was thinking about modding my keyboard, but have no idea where to start... maybe the leds.

Got any pics?

Some of us only have a crappy keyboard, so there's no grooves to run a sharpie through. Maybe I should upgrade my keyboard?

Yarr, time for a $5 new used keyboard from Boeing Surplus. The space bar on this one(bought new from Compusa new, ~2 years ago. $10)is driving me to distraction. I think paint and Magic Marker might jazz up a stock Dell kb. If I had the time, that is.

Please post a pic if you can, maiof.

I modded mine a little while ago, to match my case, i also modded my mouse and monitor, painted them blue and replaced all the leds, on the monitor, keyboard and case with blue ones, looks pretty good imo, i will post a pic once i get it scanned

Thanks for the idea. I wasn't thinking about matching all of them, but its a good idea. Right now I just wanna do something to it! I think I have some spray paint left...
