My first Mod - Another Red QFR :)
« on: Sat, 28 December 2013, 00:12:09 »
My first Post :)

Recently purchased QFR and was itchy to mod it right away after seeing all of you guys do it.

Always wanted a Red Keyboard and painted it after sanding down with 400 Grit. Currently waiting for my Vortex PBT DS caps to replace the stock QFR caps and it will be perfect :P

Great work--it looks very nice, together with your keycap choice :)  Looks like a pleasant cold shade of red.

The red and white function row is from QWERkeys.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Holy crap. Although I'm not a fan of red, that board is jaw-dropping.

Nice board,  this is seriously tempting me to go with a CM Storm just to have fun with.  I don't suppose there is anywhere that the F-keys for sale still? I checked around, but haven't had much luck with it.
