The black on white one reminds me of a piano. Nice.

It looks dumb.

I think you're trolling because your username suggests you've invested in touch typing, yet the keys you've chosen to swap are meaningless for someone who needs not look at their keyboard and typically feels their way via spatial cues/key nubs to locate default hand positions

Those home row keys area contrasting color on Kinesis, too. I used to think they were dumb, but then I replaced my caps with double-shots and I missed the contrasting home row.

Yes, I look at my hands and keys as I type.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.
