Background
I bought Keychron K6 keyboard. The appearance is just normal. 2 colors of combination keys and a red escape keycap. It’s almost dark.
I checked several youtube videos to check typing sound, I saw following video.

After that, I want my keyboard original and nice by painting the frame.
Things to be prepared

It costs 4,500 JPY for initial. I think I can use these stuff for 5 times of painting keyboard frame so that cost is 1,000 JPY for each.
