Title: Need some opinions
Post by: Bromono on Mon, 22 December 2014, 18:00:22

I finally was able to trade for my first clack! Now that I have it I want to make create my keyboard theme around it since I doubt I'll ever be able to get another one.

What would compliment the red and make it pop out?

Here is a picture of my board now.

Your link didn't work buy I assume you have a red clack.. A black keyboard with black keys would've made it stand out really well.

Seems to be very nice already from my POV really nice indeed.
I like the keycaps, hate the clack (they're just not my thing, would have preferred a red esc key or whatever), but looks great.


Those keycaps look like the Realforce Topre keycaps, wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of them to be honest, but for MX obviously.

I think it looks good the way it is, red contrasting the back.

If it were me, I would go for all blank black keys except the clack.

If you are trying to highlight the fact that you have a clack, then you don't want to add any other distractions to the board, you want the eye to go directly to the only thing that is color on the board and that is the clack.

my 0.2

To me black and red goes well together.

Yeah just I think it needs a bit more color. I bought some blank PBT caps and some gun metal dye. going to dye the mods.

Dolch would work, or if you really wanted to make it pop...use blue on white keys.

Sanctuary set would look good with that clack.

To be honest I think that it's great at emphasizing the red already..but that doesn't help at all, does it..
By the way nice keyboard you have there. :D
