Media Key Tags for your vintage keyboards.
Posted: 07 Mar 2013, 14:50
Quite a few people use vintage keycaps and keyboards, they are great, however you may often use some of the keys (normally the function keys) as media keys, playing music, adjusting volume etc.
Especially on my Mac I use these keys quite often, especially ones like the brightness keys.
So I made these little add-on non-destructive media tags. They are laser etched, then the etch sections are filled with melted wax to give a more contrasting final result.
Finally, I used a little bit of low tack double sided tape to stick them down. Enough to hold them in place, but easily removed and non damaging.
These ones I made with the same material as my replacement iMate case to match - http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/lase ... t5307.html
