Hello /diy/!
Just got myself a new keyboard, but it has this ugly logo on the front, that's printed on the plastic.
How do I remove it?
Already tried with denatured alcohol with no results and also scratched it with some sugar, which faded it a little. How can I remove the logo completely without ruining or altering the plastic?

>Pic related: that printing

My first thought would have been a weak solvent solution but there's a strong chance it will damage the plastic finish.

There's not really a clean way of doing it without running as risk of damage. It's going to be an abrasive removal. They're generally not indented to be removable.
>>
Maybe a strong duct tape would lift some paint from plastic, personally I use this method to remove glue leftovers from tape.
You might also buy some vinyl, remove caps, cut to size and apply. You don't risk damaging the surface
>>
OP could you provide a link for the keyboard?

The base model is I-500, which has a lot of names like Tomoko or VicTsing. Just search it on Amazon, it's around 39€

I've used this solvent fo simmilar applicatios before. Will almost never damage plastic, but will lift screen-printing, marker pen, etc.

Try using baking soda instead of sugar. The abrasion is finer and less likely to damage the plastic. May need to mix it with a little water to get it to stick together a bit.

Magic eraser with a bit of water, and a bit of time

Acetone would work .
Might craze the plastic .
Test on underside.
If no crazing .
Take off logo .
Profit .

wd-40 disolves shit.
Try carburetor cleaner, it dissolves even more shit.
If it were me Id just wire brush it ever so lightly. You could also go over it with a sharpie or spray paint.

Just hit it with 1000grit wet n dry. Glue a little bit on a paddle pop stick end, and scrub it gently away.

Failing this, trace the shape using super glue, attach some sturdy rope, and use a crane to lift it out.

Just paint over it. Use model paint. It's a low wear area of the keyboard, should last several years.

its not as ugly as your mom
