Title: [Personal Preference] gold keyboard with grey or black keycaps?
Post by: tbc on Thu, 14 November 2013, 01:48:30

This is just personal preference question, not any sort of trollbait or anything bad.  I just know people here are really into nice looking designs.

What do people like?  grey keycaps or black keycaps on a gold top-plate board.  pictures to prove your point would be awesome :D

yes, this question is inspired by jyu's GON and ivan's mentioned black thick pbt groupbuy.

but..but everybody loves gold :D

i remember the iphone gold rush stories lol.

I was really into the gold vaio z2, but that thing was hella expensive.  I think a gold GON would be a way cheaper way to get the gold fix :D.

Black keys with gold legends. Similar to the kind that come on the Leopold FC660C in topre (not sure if they come on the MX version).
