Easy fix for the orange # keys

lol i was thinking same thing
but i could only find horrid metal/gold/silver stickers and pink girly stuff.
i almost threw up

 

lol... that's too funny.

 

Wow, I got a pm today from somebody about what a waste of a post this is. I was told there is no way these are any good let alone hold up.

So, for anyone who is interested. I went and got my good camera and tripod and redid the pictures and added the durability test I performed.

This picture is taken with room lights and notebook on.



Next,picture is no room lights with notebook on. (lcd on high brightness)

As you can see there is a very noticable difference with using the Myglowkeys.

Now for the durability test. I took a quarter and vigorously scratched the numbers on Myglowkeys (F8) and a Regular keyboard (n)for 10 full seconds. Here are the results

This picture is pre-test.


This is post-test.

As you can see the Myglowkeys held up perfectly without any damage after the test. The same could not be said for the regular keyboard.

I also noticed something else that was not expected about the Myglowkeys. After using them most of the night I have notice myself wishing the normal white keys were as bright as the myglowkeys are. I might be applying the rest of mine now.

Well, I hope that answers everyones questions.

 

the keyboard is awful dirty

but more seriously thaks for posting
they say the price include international shipping, i'll email them to confirm

 

Amazing I love how you try if improve on a really poor excuse for a keyboard and there's always one..

One guy says he does not need to see the keys. Fine, I change games, the F keys change and I go through missed keys under fire, no thanks.

Will all the manufactures who print keys in invisible low light orange please raise their hands? Hello?

 

Exactly, that's what I thought. Atleast everyone can afford this economical solution to fix any keyboard. I can't tell you how many keyboards that I wore the w,s,d,a and r letters completely off of. Now my original letters are protected.

 

ok international shipping for free !!!
no need for pink golden "luxury sticka"

 

Do the extra backslash/backspace keys fit the FX keyboard?

I'm beginning to see why people are so annoyed with the keyboard. It's a pain even with the lights on.

PS: are you still looking at the powered keyboard lights, MaxPrime1?

 

I scanned 1 of 2 identical sheets. The mentioned stickers are smaller than FX keys by about .250" in length. No Large backslash.

 

That space bar sure looks tacky.

Thanks hydra.

 

LOL, and they are a bit sticky too! Hopefully no one will have to use the one for the space bar

 

I just used them on the number keys and the a,s,d,w keys, its a good solution for now, the space bar sticker, what where they thinking, lol

 

wow i can see my number keys
the cheapest upgrade ever
thanks everyone for the info.

 

Anything ever happen with this?

 

I particularly hate the blue and purple led's on the front I wanna turn those off.

 

anything ever come of this? would love to mod the 7805 for backlit keys.

 

also interested in maxprimes el sheeting mod package

 

Holy old post batman!

 

yes it is haha
but its worth bringing back from the dead..

 

/blushing

i'm not new to forums and should know better than dredge the dead, but otoh, since there was a string within the thread on the subject--not to mention it's top on the google search for back lighting a 7805 keyboard, i sorta made my own convention.

/wink

i'm currently hunting for a 7805 on ebay--well, like, in two paychecks i'll actually draw a bead.

i'm not a genius at electronics, but i may try to pick up where the original poster left off on the mod.

 

Hit Fn+F1 to turn off ALL LEDS. Pretty neat feature and not many people know about it. And I'm gonna see if I can find some low volt LED on eBay and hook them up to get back light
