    Follow up to the post Dying PBT Keycaps.

    There are some inconsistencies, but I reused the pot and strainer between dyes, but that is the overall aesthetic I was going for

    I used iDye poly in brown, green, kelly green (the darker, almost black green in the pictures), and orange (in that order)

        I followed this guide (reddit post). I just did not follow the advice about using new pots/strainers/spoons/everything for each dye, which I believe led to the variations I have (which I like, YMMV).

        You can get blank PBT keycap sets from amazon and alibaba for a decent price (though the profile I have here is not available)

        EDIT: note that some of my caps started out red or gray, rather than off white

          Awesome, thanks for the link to the guide. And yeah I already have all blank white PBT keycaps so they should take the dye pretty well.
