Orange Keycaps on green backlight (race II white)
« on: Sun, 19 October 2014, 09:00:19 »
Hi folks,

I was wondering whether anyone has some experience with this color combination as i am rather worried that it'll look brown :-X
I'm currently waiting for my Brand new Race II to arrive and I still have some Fluorescent orange keycaps laying around.

Looking forward to tha feedback!

It might depend on how bright the LEDs are, and how thick the keycaps are.

If you already have the keycaps, and the keyboard arrival is imminent, just try putting a few on and post a picture :)
"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

Especially the "post a picture" part, because... now I want to see it.

Yeah, if the caps are thin enough and the LEDs bright enough, the green should just shine right through almost unfiltered
