A little while ago I wanted to do something with my Dell AT102W keyboard. For startes I really hated its Black Alps. I almost dislike them as much as most rubberdome keyboards.
So the first thing I did was to exchange its tactile metal leafs with the ones from my Matias Tactile Pro keyboard. This made the Dell to become super tactile in its action. It takes more force to activate them than reglar White Alps and the activation point is pretty much right in the beginning and it's pretty stiff and the keys just sort of break lose under your fingers when you type making up for a very tactile experience. It totally changed the feel of the Black Alps.
However I did not want to end the modding with that. These keyboards can be had very cheap so I figured wrecking it in the process or making something really weird with it won't be an expensive story if I mess up. So I decided to make it a bit girly and went in touch with my feminine side and put my imagination into works. Went to the local hobby store and bought lots of different plastic stuff and glued on the case as I see fitted and then painted over it with clear varnish.
Some original keycaps still on it and the rest is from an old Apple M2980.
