Ok, I know you fools are out there. Let’s see ‘em. 🕶

I did inverted keys, with tact switch caps from Walmart of all places.  
[Diymore 140PCS Round/Square 7 Color Tactile Button Cap Kits For 12_12_7.3mm Tact Switch](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Diymore-140PCS-Round-Square-7-Color-Tactile-Button-Cap-Kits-For-12-12-7-3mm-Tact-Switch/1400800826?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101173606)

Then I stuck some colored dots right under the LED’s so that I can remember the 6 color arrangement as it pertains to the pattern and synth mode selections.

HI! The inspiration came from this thread:

> Hi would love to share my experience with customizing / hacking my Organelle S. I wasn’t a big fan of the wooden buttons, they’re cool but they felt weird to me… So I’ve replaced them with black and light grey and arranged them inverted with red aux button. They feel better to me and they fit nice and tight so no more rattling sounds when handling the unit! I’ve also sourced a proper encoder cap to match the original knobs, it ended being a replacement part for an Allen & Heat…

Awesome, I love the bare aluminum finish of the 201, I wish my Organelle S came with that finish!

I’m thinking of spray painting just the top and front surfaces of a blue Organelle M with PlastiDip black paint. Figured I could remove masking tape over the front silk screen while the paint is still tacky. If for whatever reason I don’t like the paint, conceivably it can be peeled away in theory. 😉 Or maybe use PlastiDip as a base layer for a splattered paint job over it (also with the premise that it’s reversible). PlastiDip branded primer is a no-go: supposedly that bonds too well to metal.
