Remove logos from your Keyboard! Cosmicbyte CB-GK-18 Debranding.

if you use acetone, it will be removed in literally one swipe, but please for the love of god do not bring it any where near your keycaps, make sure you remove keycaps before using acetone. I learnt this the hard way that acetone dissolves plastics, and now 2 of my keycaps are liquid. thankfully cosmic byte has great customer service and replaced my keycaps for very cheap(80 Rs for 5 keycaps)
