Made my gf a keyboard for her birthday and she’s enjoying it, but is missing light up indicator when caps lock is on. I know this key sucks and I disabled it on mine but she uses it a lot for her job.
The keyset I got her is completely opaque so you can’t really see the caps light unless you’re right above the keyboard looking at the edges of the caps key.
I took some spare keys of the same shape and drilled holes right above the indicator light and it shines through pretty well, but want to fill it with something clear to make it look nicer/diffract the light a bit. Does anyone have any recommendations? Was thinking about using polyurethane caused I’ve used it for random other things and seems like it could work.
Thanks!
Sounds simple and effective, I’ll try that out on one of my test keys. Thanks
I actually did that on my very fist aftermarket set of keycaps. I was so stoked that they didn’t look like gamer nonsense but had a badass RED escape key. Can you believe it? RED! Just needed to let that capslock LED shine through.
Anyway, it worked out quite well.
Edit: Here we go. Behold the glory of a dusty Drevo Calibur v1 ca. 2014.
