The end result looks rather nice. Much better than stickers. Now I just hope that the paint lasts.


Yes, and in fact much more than one.t140568 wrote:I can't help but wondering... is there really a shop dedicated to keyboard customization?

And I am pleased to say that after 10 more years, I am at least somewhat better at typing Russian blindly than I used to be.
This one is not laser engraving, but a mechanical engraving with ink-filling of the grooves. I had it done in one of the most experienced, recommended shops that do this kind of thing, and the fact that 11 years later it still looks great, the ink hadn't faded or chipped off, is a testimony of the quality of their work.Vopu wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 4:40 amThis looks insanely beautiful, neat and tidy for sure. i think they use laser engravers don't they ? I have seen laser engraving done on top covers but never knew on key caps How long should one last , is it a repeat process to refresh the lettering after certain time ? Also , have you seen/(can it be done) a braille keyboard with this method ?![]()
Well, for 35$ you really can't complaint can you
One would think due to the process of engraving say mechanical or laser , braille should not work as the letters/symbols are carved to caps then filled with ink as braille is designed to be a raised surface symbols against a flat base yet i have no idea if one in need can also feel the engraving instead of protrude letters/symbols for touch. A friend asked me about this a long time ago and as far as i could search back then, stickers or the transperent overlays were the only options other than specially designed braille keyboards/readers/note takers or smart displays. A use of technology on improving the disabilities of millions in need with special needs has always been fascinating to me.
