Before about a month ago, I had an ABS branded board with black ALPS switches, and a Rosewill with red Cherry MX switches that I was using mostly for gaming.  I found Geekhack looking for key caps for the Rosewill, and now I have this:

Most of you will recognize it as a Leopold FC200 Tenkeyless Otaku.

The lavender (W, A, S, and D) and red key caps are from Elitekeyboards and the green, Windows, and dark gray are from WASD, as are the dampener rings.

You can see the rings through the LED windows on the SHIFT and S.LOCK keys.

I know the key colors are controversial, but they work for the way I game.  For my next board, I'm thinking of something similar (tenkeyless) but white.  My first thoughts are another Leopold, but I'm open to trying new stuff.  Suggestions?

Anyway, I wanted to thank Geekhack for leading me to this setup (I love it) and figured the best way to do it is to post pictures.  Thanks Geekhack!

P.S. iPhone 4 takes slighty blue-ish pictures :sad:

Looks good I like the layout that you choose and I also think the colors look cool.
