Hey Scott, Have had great success with retrobright here in AZ. The sun here provides a great deal of UV/heat; some times a bit intense. So you must be careful. Out of a dozen or so I've had two that need to be re-done. They also have scars on the clear display plastic (why I never put them on eBay) and yellowed up again due to the place I stored them was on the sunny side of the house. As long as I kept a close eye on them, things went well. I would check them every 20-30 minutes and touch up any dry spots with more retrobright.
Doing a keyboard can be tricky as the plastic parts of the keys can be brittle and break if you're not real careful while removing the key caps. It can be done, just take your time. Check out the 8-Bit Guy on YouTube as he has a video of how he did retrobrighting. An Amiga I think. He used a large tube of water with H2O2 rather than making the paste. He had no clear parts and, with my previous experience, I wasn't ready to try submersing the M100 case. Not sure what % he used. I've used 60% H2O2 from Sally Beauty. As for yellowing being part of the "charm," Not so much. It's not like the "patina" on a classic car. Of course, "patina" in AZ can get down to nothing, but bare metal rather quickly.
