Looks great, only thing I don't like is the black Razer badge at the bottom.

do you coat it with something, or does it just have a weird texture...?

Sorry for the necro, but that spacebar looks like a 6x, does WASD sell 6x spacebars? Or did you buy their 6.25x one and modded it to 6x?

Also, does WASD custom print singles?

it appears 1.25 modifiers were used instead of 1.5 ones so that a 6.25x would fit in the 6x slot

old but just sayin mine is pretty cool too....



The tourney is actually built really well, better quality PCB than CMStorm/Costar. But regardless of build quality it feels really cheap to type on

I like your setup, but that Razer is in the way of the ergo...

Is it the keycaps that make it feel cheap to type on or is there flex in the board?

lol it was a quick side project, i got it for 40$, harvested the brown switches and then when i came into possession of some red switches so i was like what the hell i will make a red switch tourney

as for the cheapness, the plate is really thin so the board flexes if decent pressure is put on the board; i type like a jackhammer, so yeah, flex happens. Plus the case is really hollow throughout (unnecessary extra size of the keyboard), so that lack of absorption i think makes it feel like a toy compared to a QFR Rapid.

What's up with that spacebar? Is it just smaller or facing the wrong direction?

It does look brown though, part 303107 from KeyCapsDirect?

The spacebar is flipped, some people prefer it that way. I think the brownish color is just bad lighting/potato camera.

Someone flipped all the keys on their keyboard - but I would take that with a grain of salt ;)
"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

Heyya Geekhack!

 So the moment I stumbled across these forums few weeks ago, I knew that there had to be change done to my keyboard!

Now the stock razer keyboard (picture below) I thought looked... Plain. So after a white paint job, brand new keycaps, changed green razer LED to blue added LED to escape button my creation is finally complete!

What it looked like before...

After

Matches my setup much better now!

Just showing off the keycaps (love them)

My 1950 Underwood Typewriter now has a friend  :p :p

So after a few stressful days, and several freak outs I can safely say that it's finally done... For now. Might fix up the paint job maybe in the future :)

Now to find myself one of those pesky CC's or brocap! :P

Thank you for looking, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask :)

Edit: Thank you so much for the kind words everyone, I love to hear your opinion!

-Rapid.

Very well done. I'm thinking about plastidipping my QFR to change it up.

I dunno.. I don't have any flex in my Blackwidow TE and I type pretty hard, too, when the mood takes me. Only when I pick it up and flex it is when I get any type of flex, and I... never really do that.
