Description

This is a set of plates to go under the keys on a keyboard. Printed in white, it reflects more light from behind the keys.  Fits a Royal Kludge RK87 Sink87G – not sure what else. The teal-backlight photo shows before/after. 

I wasn't happy with the backlight brightness of the RK87 but it wasn't until I put it side-by-side with an R87 that I realized why. The R87 has a white deck behind the keys which reflects more light than the black deck on the RK87. I found Coco's model and adjusted it to fit. 

I had to split the main keyboard plate to fit my printer. I printed them face down for the most even surface texture. 0.20mm layers.
