carbon fiber keyboard and mouse mod

post #1 of 70
Thread Starter 
My 3M-dinoc carbon fiber arrived today, put it on my arctosa and deathadder 3.5G because I can't stand mirrored finishes. Enjoy the pics.

Edit: I covered my wrist rest with craftstore foam for all of you who are wondering.


I finished the left side of my deathadder. Sorry about the low quality pictures, they were taken with my phone.


Ebay link to purchase the CF I used:

For comfort reasons I put foam tape on the wrist rest.

The adhesive is quite strong but at any time if you ever wanted to remove it, you just peel it off. You use a hairdryer after you finish applying it to get the adhesive to "wear in" and stick better to the surface.
