just a question, why is there a window when u can see it?

Well in the original plan
The window is always hard coded into the design
It sort of carry over till the end

Maybe in near far future 🔮
Will rearrange the whole area to show off the innards

Thanks man
Live and learn I guess

Maybe it's abuse I didn't bake the painted parts....

the updates, they now only be trickle in...

I'm you all know my keyboard right?

this is a close up..




sad sordid pieces of S#!T

I mean, just look at it!



MY GOD!!

who ever does this to their keyboards should be shot like a dog.... ehh...


mind you this is not a mecha type, but a dome type keyboard,
it it handles the abuse well above my expectation,

ain't no way I'm gonna abandoned it

open time!

(PS: The Ctrl and Shift was taken out for simple cleaning before I realised how bad izzit , Full disassembly required )



all taken apart cleaning proceed!

my ol' trusty CRC CO Contact cleaner, and some cotton earbud for the nooks and crannies





blip-blap-blip-blap

all Assembled!



the frame actually been scrub down with a 400 grit sandpaper, water sanded
and thats why the small patch around the HP logo is left yellowed

The keys themselves is yellow due to ABS oxidise and the Flame retardant additives
there is a way (chemically) to get back the whiteness (search Retr0bright or DIY them)

but i think gonna leave them yellow in contrast to the whiter-r frame

other thing i spent my time doing
