Keycap Kevin: I’ve failed but found an expert to show me how swirling works
8.11.2022
Mechanical keyboards are my great passion. In the series «Keycap Kevin», I’m experimenting with various techniques to beautify keyboards. Today’s experiment: My [[strike:second]] fourth attempt at water transfer printing – this time with the help of an expert.
I attempted to beautify a keyboard with hydro dipping three times. And I failed three times. But I’m not giving up. I’ve found an expert who can help me. As Pascal Barth from Barth Hydrographics told me right away, hydro dipping isn’t the right choice of technique for my project, but swirling with special paint instead of spray cans is. Is he right and did I finally get a satisfying result? Check out the video above to find out. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».
This time you can even win something: a Keychron Q1 beautified by Pascal and built by me. All you need to do is click on the Participate button below.
This is episode 2 of the five-part series «Keycap Kevin». I’ll keep adding new episodes to this page.
