After much agonizing I have narrowed my choices.
Option 1: filco/qfr with mx browns in vortex blue alum case.
Option 2: poker with mx browns in tex blue case.
I'm not partial to either size. That's not the problem. The problem is the keycaps will be IMSTO thick pbt greys. I have literally looked well over 1000 images, I can not find any boards with either of these cases mixed with imsto greys. The different blues from the different cases are so hard to really tell online, nearly every picture is different depending on lighting etc. Do you guys have any opinions on which case might look better with imsto greys?
Thanks!
-
I vote for option 2 with tex case maybe looks better, because the blue more darker than vortex
-
Thank you! Yeah I'm leaning this way, it's just hard to tell with pictures sometimes they are not really close to reality.

btw only 1 tex case left in stock at mk.com and I am about to purchase it

Can you turn off the LEDs on the poker 2 led version? (or at least turn the brightness down a lot)
Thanks.
-
never heard of a board that couldn't turn off LEDs.
i THINK 0 brightness (off) is just one of 7 brightness levels

Just buy the greys and try them out. Some things only work when you personally physically try them.

I would go for the 2nd option also, those blue tex case are awesome looking.
