Personally, I don't like it on a TKL

Maybe a 65 or 75 might look ok.

In that render, it looks as if there is a length of brown packing tape holding the halves of the keyboard together.
Needs more shine.

But my guess is that it will not look good as brass either.

Looks too much like the case is being held together by duct tape!

I'm sure it would look better if it was metallic... personally I think it'd look better smaller.

It begs for a partner on the other side.

honestly i think it is a bit too big or not big enough, i feel like the black border around it should either be bigger or not at all.
at least it is what i think, but then i kinda to not care for tkl, i like my numpad too much.

To be honest, I don't think it looks that great; perhaps it would work better if it were thinner? It looks to be more of an accent this way, similar to the D65 blocker  :thumb:
