+rep for your first paint job.

From the pics, it looks like the paint was sprayed a little heavy (forgive me if I'm wrong). Remember, you want a few very light coats, and not 1 thick one. Wet sand the color coat before you clear, it'll be as smooth as glass. Check out my worklog (click my sig) for the disaster that happened the first time I painted a mouse. Your first go DEFINITELY turned out better than mine did!

:EDIT:
I think you can use water slide decals if you want to replace the characters on the keys. Someone correct me on that if I'm wrong.

oopps...i did the multiple thin coats. but i forgot to sand them down! haha. i knew i was forgetting something when i was painting. But, also i couldn't find the 100 grit paper. until today...which is like 1 1/2 weeks too late. haha. and wow. ur mouse was wow...thanks for the tip and reminder for the next time i paint though dude.

If you sweat a lot they might shift.

but if you clear coat over the waterslides they will be secured
