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.
