Gaming keyboards do not need to be fancy do they? I always wondered what a OEM keyboard would look like cleaned up and painted. Dell keyboards just feel right for everyday typing and i really like using them.

@MarkSkrzypczak5 years ago This keyboard is bad ass. I've used these Dell keyboards off and on for years. It's crazy to think they were standard. You'd have to pay a premium to get something as good. 3

@ibraheemknowledgeseekah98895 years ago Hi thanks for the great videos keep them coming they really motivate me. I’m new to it all however I bought a BTX motherboard I wanted to find out if their is a custom backplate to fit BTX standoffs because people saying you can’t put them in a ATX. HP 8300 elite micro tower motherboard is one I have. Any links would be appreciated fully. I’m thinking something small like a cube style case for it for portability. ...

@GreyWolfTowers5 years ago I was just thinking about this video and thought of another idea... Have you ever done this type of mod on a standard USB optical mouse from Dell/HP/etc? I'm thinking about trying it when I get home at the end of this weekend, but if you have done one or plan on doing one I may hold off ...

@greyjedi34343 years ago this litterally looks like something razer would build back in the day
@

@d.r.j90515 years ago If you paint the keys, I would suggest scuffing them first, spray on adhesion promoter, and then paint. Just paint + errant fingernail = big chunk out of the paint.
@

@RiccardoRivi5 years ago Not bad
Someway you can also add rgb to the side of the keyboard 1
@

@elfedorausado4 years ago good thing it's not one of those keywords in which the rubbery mat under the keys are not a mat at all, but individual pieces under each one
@

@robertr.79954 years ago I love this channel and I've been subscribed for a while now, but I do have one small grief with this channel. I really wish you would get more into detail about how you did things. For example, what did you do with that hole you cut? What did you put in its place and how did you secure it there? ...

@

@Alexander-fc3nt5 years ago It looks DISGUSTING!! 1) you replaced the Dell logo with some terrible icon!! why??; 2) the color is simply DISGUSTING! if you use bright colors (orange, green, etc.) you need to paint only with a spray with the effect:: chrome or metallic, you have it looks like a matte and most importantly before painting use a primer ...
