Part 6 - Keycaps and Cable
Keycaps
I tried dye-ing a whole bunch of keycaps to get the brown colour.
I had three shades but only tested out two of them. The darkest brown turned out green, and the coffee brown came out dark brown.
I had some WASD Keyboard blanks that were light brown so i used those to complement the dark browns.
Cheap PBT (front printed). Ready for dying.
No Metal strainer - straight in the pot!
They came out pretty dark (10-15 minutes later)
Coffee brown ended up being dark brown.
The light brown is WASD's thin ABS keys.
The Coffee brown came out Green :(
Cable
The best micro-usb cable i found (i tried about 3-4) that works is the VDesign Brand.
Super strong magnet. Only works in one orientation though.
