Give your Apple keyboard a total makeover

(Credit: ESSELL.ORG )

If you are unhappy about Apple's new two-tone keyboard design, you are not alone. And there's not much you can do about it, either, unless you are creative.

Designer Steve Lee decided to take matters into his own hands, and with just a cheap can of white spray paint, he transformed the keyboard into something he calls "possibly the most pretentious keyboard in existence."

These pictures are for your viewing pleasure and hey, now you know what you can do with that keyboard of yours. Oh, and if you are wondering whether Lee took the keys off before painting them, the answer is no. He says he left them on and sprayed thin coats of paint over the entire thing.

Actually, there's plenty you can do about it seeing as Colorware offer the keyboard separately for customising :).

I guess that Steve Lee is a confident touch typist if he has no problem with painting over the keys. My Dad, a 10-wpm visual hunt-and-******, would have an aneurysm. :-)

I see that the word "p-e-c-k-e-r" has tripped the forum's profanity filter. Very amusing! :-D

Looks like the Apple fanboy version of this: http://www.fahad.com/pics/das_keyboard_lrg.jpg

Although this looks slick, I ponder the loss of efficiency and ease of use. I would have no problem not having the letter, number, and other commonly used keys not labeled. But to have the lesser used keys (i.e. print scrn, scroll lock, pause/break, num lock, etc) be not labeled also, will be this idea's downfall.
