Modding UV Keyboard 100% DONE! but its CRAP!

i ran out of bandwith so no more website guys sry

neway i finished the mod and it looks like crap (the pic sucks but so does the mod) The idea was good but it didnt work......ALSO in the process of this crappy mod i broke one of my Cathodes (I NEED A CHEAP CATHODE NON-KIT)
so wat im gonna do is buy a new keyboard (all black) buy some EL wire and use some LEDs

well here it is

 

You're 13? That's how old my son is. Man I feel old...

Good concept, it came out pretty nice. However, have you thought about mounting UV inside the keyboard so it's backlit instead of downlit?

 

not very much room in the keyboard....BUT very very good idea...i'll try it.....i have 2 there so it is worth a try.

originally i was gonna get some UV el wire but decided to go this way....but i might do both.....ty for input..

and accually i just turned 14...im so stupid i put 13 on the site .... well i just turned 14 so i guess its ok

 

You may have to slim down the ccfl's to fit them inside your keyboard though... Your best bet would be neon string.

Ah, so you're 8 months older than my son. I still feel old...

/me goes to find my walker

 

i could take it out of the tube and just have the fragile cathode in there but thats a wee bit dangerous ill see how it works......not gonna try it till i get the paint.....ty for the input

 

more feedback

 

Not too sure how good having UV in front of you eyes will be?

 

the UV wont be in my eyes.....it is under the desk

 

Is he modding yet? eh? eh?

Start em young dude.

 

DONE!

 

No, he isn't interested in modding - just games. He's really not into building things like I am, he's more of an "intelectual"... Well, I take that back, he likes to help me work on a computer or to build a computer, but he's not into modding it. He thinks it's "neat" and all that, but he has other things he would rather do.

/back on topic

That came out pretty nice, nicer than I expected (no offense)

 

none taken but im not happy wit it so im gonna use this keyboard on my other computer and buy a new one all black with black keys and change the LEDs to BLu and get some blu elwire

 

That's actually the best way to go - use the el wire. As soon as I'm able to find a BLACK friggin ergonomic keyboard, that's what I plan to do, but I don't want to use blue. Maybe red... Not sure...

 

GREEN looks really good but green dont go with nething else i got

 

Look at logitech, I believe they have one...

/me pets M$ natural kb

Too bad about the mod gone sour, hopefuly your next one will turn out better

 

Yea they do, but it's cordless... If I'm going to be lighting the keyboard, it doesn't make sense to buy a cordless one only to add a wire for the inverter I love my natural keyboard, but again, no black, just white...

 

seems pretty nice
can you give us a in-dark pic?

 

Moved to modding since this is not a project log.

 

I didn't read the text, but from the picture in the first post, that looks sweet! I don't know if it's the light or the paintjob, though.

 

Is the Cathode going to be placed like that ?
Cause It's not healthy looking into a UV cathode...
