or you can try to get some sand sponges, which are thick like a dish washing sponges, and it is soft and you can bend it to the curves desired, and sand the curved key caps surface, for sand sponges I never uses water before.

May be you can shot a video and start a tutorial of it, LOL.

no cam @@ and I am not good at making evenly spread rough surface on anything.

But when plastics sanding are concerned,
i think the best place to ask is the hobby model toy shops right?
there is one in the Lowyat plaza?
and a few in the Time square.
I think there is few topics are about pvc and scaled car modeling in the lowyat forum?

the one they teach are using sand grit of 400, then 800, and then 1500 for finishing.

What i want would be a textured surface, not mirror surface.

Btw, For your information, Leopold has always use square shape LED for quite some times already, my FC200R is one of them.

Btw, don't keeps your hope high, mainly because the one that i receive are sample unit which is the same as the link you provided.

From what they told me, it has been improved, and currently now, first batch of FC700 is currently in shipment proceeding to Korea from manufacturer as we're talking. In the next few weeks, there will be the official keyboard feedback which is not the sample.

Yesterday try spray paint my fading keycap, result are not good as expected. Paint Too thick make it weird lol.

Next try will try to engrave the keycap and paint it than cover with clear coat..

Cyclone If u are look ing for Matt surface u can try this...
After Sanding used clear coat aerosol spray spray from far for 1 short press. I Found it create nice looking Matt surface

erm... ever try try to use brasso ?

Brasso For polish?

Yeap.
Brasso is very effective to do the touch up work. And most importantly, if you do it the right way, the result will be very nice!
It's not too costly to try polish with Brasso but, be prepared to "TAHAN" the smell...

why brasso? since we're not doing a mirror like finish. If it's that, 2000 grit + polish will do the trick.

By using brasso, u can make ur caps either matte finished, or mirror finished. 2000 paper it won't give that nice enough's finish.
But it's personal la, if you like mirror alike, then u should polish it. If you feel the outcome of sanding by 2000 grit paper is enough, then it's also fine

i see, thanks for the info, i'll go google more about brasso and trying to get matte finish.

erm... wait i think i typed too fast just now... and i come back for some correction

Brasso can't make matte surface, as brasso's main purpose is to polish and make things "shiny" looks.

sorry buddy

Feeling really itchy to grab a new keyboard... the other day was wiping my OCZ Illuminati Alchemy... the rubber keycaps gets really sticky and wearing off ._.

Wanted a Leopold brown switch... but seems like no stock and I'm getting impatient lol... thinking to grab a Ducky DK9008S... any recommended sellers? any pros and cons compared to a Leopold FC500 brown switch? or I should be considering a Filco instead... Side note, these keyboards, don't come with rubber keycaps right...? :S

AFAIK, they don't come with rubber keycaps. I'm using a Filco and I've tried the Ducky Shine and they both do not have rubber keycap.

I think the only one I know with rubber keycap is the Razer Black Widow Ultimate.

tried it, the multimedia key layout is weird as its all on the right side of the keyboard.
so either u move ur left hand all the way over, or u take ur hand off the mouse to hit the keys.

the version with red cherry keys should be in market now, rm339...i'll probably try to get my hands on one of them next month.

I'm avoiding rubber key cap at all cost now >_<

How does the Filco compare to a Ducky?

I'm currently deciding between a Filco Majestouch 2 (Brown switch) and Ducky DK9008S - Shining N-Key Rollover Mechanical Keyboard (Brown Switch). I'm leaning towards the Ducky as it is a little cheaper, comes with lights and multimedia keys, but I'm new in this is there anything from the Filco that I should also consider? I want one that will last. ~RM479 vs ~RM439 :S.

No offense, but what is rubber keycap. because i never heard of rubber keycap before.

The keycap from Razer Blackwidow are transparent ABS with Color coat, and then Lasered to get the letter/font.

Every backlit keyboard uses those Keycap for attain the effect for backlit light to pass thru the keyboard legend/letter words.
