Title: Colourful keycaps to consider for new board
Post by: vun on Thu, 18 October 2012, 19:57:56

So, I'm planning on getting a new board soon, a QuickFire Rapid with reds(or maybe blacks), and I'd like to buy a nice set of keycaps along with it.

I'm planning on getting feng's rainbow caps, they look really nice, although none of the screens show them on a black keyboard.

Basically if it's not too much bother I'd like to hear if there are other caps I should consider, only requirements are that they can be bought as a full set or easily replicated with the WASD customizer. If anyone has a picture of feng's keycaps on a black board I'd love to see that as well.

I really do wish I had a clear idea for how I wanted my keycaps, but I don't, so shamelessly ripping off someone else's idea will have to do.

QFR with MX blacks has a gray case.

I reckon that'll look ok with the white modifiers, it's the black case I'm worried about. I'd really like to try reds, I'm just a bit scared that they'll be a bit too light for me and feel like a waste of money. Anyways, the switch issue doesn't really belong in this thread so I'll leave that be for now.

But might limit the choice for other colours.

For example yellow keys on a black case look great, I am wondering how yellow keys on a gray case will look, and I intend to find out :)

True, but in general I don't think I'd do saturated yellows, I'm more interested in orange, which works well with both black and grey.

Orange with blue modifiers would look good.  Maybe.

Go bold or go home!
