Title: Keyboard colors
Post by: czarek on Fri, 12 April 2013, 08:00:42
I love beige keyboards because they look professional to me. I also like the beige on black scheme which seems a bit retro and very cool.
What color scheme do you guys prefer, and why?

Lately I've been into the charcoal on black color scheme. I think it's got a kind of classic, understated look to it.

I have taken all custom keycaps of my keyboards, and left just the charcoal black PBT on there, leaving my nicest keycaps as the escape key... I like them better than before. Now what to do with these keycaps lol.

As I've said in many other threads, Valentine's set or die :P

Seriously though? I really like black keyboards with bright colors. Eth0s' Dolch with Octopink clack clusters is amazing and if the GMK buy goes through, that purple is going to be so amazing.

When I get my Phantom finished and build a custom case for it the case will be powdercoated Gunmetal Grey.  Still debating on finish, high gloss, gloss, matte, satin or flat.

I like colorful things, but only Cherry profile keycap. Unfortunately there is not a lot of options with those 2 things together yet. Black, white, or other color casebody depend on the keycap colorway.

I don't know..... I don't know!

I like the traditional beige two-tone colors, but I also like all black.  I tried a black board with dark grey keys, and liked it too.  I don't know which one I should use!
