If only I was substantially better at 3d modeling... I have an idea that I think would using mechanical keyboard switches. And there are enough custom keyboard companies out there that could probably make the switch covers to look like the real thing but I dont think I could redesign the model well enough to make it work.

obious Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I ordered the same square push buttons as linked, but ended up hating them. I searched around then and found these, https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/nkk-switches/kb15skw01-a/?qs=EIJ16CYJdOv2DMeOYQw7Ig%3D%3D&countrycode=US¤cycode=USD , and while they are considerably more expensive than the ones linked, they are also much higher quality, and way more satisfactory to press. I’ve bought a couple to test/play around it and so far I love the feel of them compared to the cheap ones I’ve currently been using. How do you actually wire them up though? They’ve got 5 pins of the back rather than the ‘normal’ two?

NightShiftNinja Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I just ordered a set of mechanical keyboard keys and key caps with the intention of seeing if they will fit (hopefully with only minor modifications.) They should provide a satisfying tactile feel, were quite cheap (a set of 70 was less than $30) and if it works should be fairly easy to have custom key caps printed with the correct lettering.

obious Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 How are people painting the lower UFC cover panel? I've just printed off the panel that has deeper text and I'd like to paint the text/circle white so they stand out more. I'm thinking some diluted white water-based paint and using a super thin modelling brush to apply it. Any ideas?
