Title: How do you think this looks?
Post by: Air tree on Sat, 31 August 2013, 10:09:51

I'm not sure if this should be in "keycaps" or "keyboards" since i'm quite new here, but anyways i wanted to get some opinions on how you think this looks, I'm putting buying a wasd v2 keyboard and i was wondering the colours look of this.

It certainly looks more sophisticated than random candy corn and robot faces in non-matching color schemes.  If a less standard color scheme is your thing, than you can definitely do worse than this.

Oh hai Air Tree. I think i saw you at LTT! HAH!
Anyway ima just copy paste my reply from there:P

I'd not choose WASD to have a different color. I like the difference between eg fkeys and letter, not wasd and other letters.

I think it's kind of half half. I prefer something clean and elegant or something really unicorn vomit.

For a such minimalistic and sleek looking board I'd go monotone, ESC or WASD perhaps in secondary color as accent, not more.

Now it has no color really. Id add red like you had, or blue, to arrows or esc or something. But ur the one to choose^^

Welcome to geekhack.

I like your colors, but the black makes the white overwhelm everything else. I' think  grey modifiers would balance the overall board better.

Here is another version of it, So much customization can be had with this board!

The arrow keys look more like someone lost the keycaps for the up and down arrows and replaced it with a spare black arrow set from a different board.
