Glow in the dark paint

[casemods]

Anybody ever use it on keyboard?

I like this microsoft natural multimedia keyboard, and I would just like to get some glow in the dark paint, and carefully apply it.

Anybody have experience doing this?

These phosphorescent dyes will only be glowing for a few minutes. And only if you illuminated them strongly before. By the time your eyes get used to the dark again, it won't be readable anymore. Just get a cheap keyboard that glows...

Yeah I wouldnt mess with that. But if you do it wont be the keys that glow. You would want to mask all the keys off and just paint the chassis.

That I don't get... It is the keys he wants to paint. Why would he want to paint the rest? 8O

Just the letters, not the entire key.

If you paint the keys that paint is going to start rubbing off on your hands at some point.

absolutely.

By the way: a tiny bucket of phosphorescent dye will cost you more than a new (lousy) keyboard with glowing buttons.

Case dismissed.
