That's the bit I don't understand. Surely it dries eventually in any case? What do you guys mean? Keep brushing until it's all gone?

But then what? I know I'm being thick, but I don't understand what you mean. Let it dry by never letting it dry?
Or do you mean take it out the sun and then dry it off with something manually?

Rinsing I understand, thanks Chzel! I got the risks, just not the directions.
People say I write clearly. Perhaps I do, but it comes naturally, as at heart I am a well meaning simpleton. Seems to work well enough in words!

Step 1. Apply peroxide.
Step 2. Take the keyboard abroad.
Step 3. You let it dry, didn't you? Idiot!
Even German overcast is brighter than the gloom we have here. Almost makes me pine for back when we were destroying the ozone layer. Sure, mass extinction and all that. But won't someone please think of the polar retrobrighters!?!

Photos before and after retrobrighting for only 2 hours on a completely sunless day:

I would recommend trying it yourself instead of just doubting for the sake of it

I doubt anyone is doubting you here. You're not in "Oberlehrermodus" right now either! 
I will try this soon and post my results.

I'd like to see the results of doing it inside, at the other end of a room to the window. That would be more like my environment! I have a north facing home… in permacloudy Scotland…

Before doing it inside, I would ascertain there are no toxic emissions.
Quite a few of us have already given an arm and a leg for a keyboard, but would you give a lung?

Good point. A lung for a keyboard? That would have to be something really nice.

I still couldn't get overcome me painting or modding the case.
Anybody found a good way to replace the spacebars yet? The only solution I have come up is a standard Right-Shift, looks like sheit though.

Twoface (still cant decide what I like more):
Unfortunately my camera is crap and it does look a little different in real life =/
Also I should repaint the right hand side.

Thanks. The color is gun metal grey. I used plasti dip, so it shouldn't be a problem to change it whenever I want 
One down side so far is the part where the two keyboard-parts meet since the plasti dip comes off here really easy due to rubbing against each other. But since I always use the open ergonomic layout it doesn't matter.
