Think you should drop Zap Wizard an email/PM from Bit too. He's done several.

I've got some, I'll have to photgraph them though.

[mnpctech]

bump!

Hit us wit your best shot Star :thumb:

[Starbuck3733T]

it may require photoshopping out some of the dirt since the KB is pretty old since the mod.

Wish they did mouse mods instead :(

[mnpctech]

Don't sweat it then.. :-)

[Starbuck3733T]

it's basically an MS natural KB with the leds swapped out, circa 1998. it's been in near-continous use since then.

what I may do is just 'hurry the hell up' on my other KB mod :)

[mnpctech]

One last bump!

[Pug]

Nothing done to mine besides stripping & cleaning - mice, yes; kbds, no.
Sorry mate. :shrug:

What about TGS's Care Bears one? Didn't he do a themed set?

[fillip]

I spilt a drink on mine once if that counts though I doubt I have a photo :duh:

how about a blue sprayed keyboard and changed leds? not too fancy i know but its quite nice had all the useless buttons removed as well

[mnpctech]

Let your photos do the talkin Toby.

Thanks Gordy! YGM

[zer0]

i think i might change the geen leds in my keyboard over to red if they arnt the little tiny leds you find everyware.

[Defyant]

Damm i gave up on the KB for HPr2. its still 60% complete out in the workshop in a box under a bench under some dust :o) .... whats the time frame we have to work with?

it would be nice to have "a" KB to represent WF ?

i could prolly spuse it up and have it looking good within the week?

[mnpctech]

hold that thought D.... I'm emailing them now

I'll post the deadline here as soon as I get a response

[mnpctech]

Deadline is today.

Thanks everybody.

[Starbuck3733T]

Doah!

[mnpctech]

PC Modder apologized for the late notice.

They'll give us an earlier heads up next time :thumb:

[Knipex]

Nothing here I am afraid..

I have a habit of busting mine too often to make it worth while modding them.

[toby]

looks like i found this thread a bit late then

[mnpctech]

^ No, it was a late notice on their part Toby. Thanks again for offering to help :cool:

At least they publish the stuff you give them...

[TheGreatSatan]

CPU magazine is looking for keyboard mods and sent me this:

My name is Jennifer Johnson and I'm a writer for CPU magazine. We're working on a special edition called PC Modder right now. I'm looking for
pictures of keyboard mods that people have made to compliment their
system. Do you have any that you'd be willing to share with me and have
published in PC Modder?

Thanks,

Jennifer

If you have something like this PM me and I'll give you her email address.

Oops. I merged the above post before reading the update to this thread.
Sorry.

[GigantoR]

Aww poop
I just ordered a viewsonic office keyboard to paint and mod for my current project.
