Cherry boards are so much more expensive. Believe me, I would much rather have a cherry brown board any day.

Were I to do one of these, I'd paint the case white. I could do that and the dying now, but the logo would still be beyond me.

Though, even if I think the idea is cool, I don't think anyone I know here would. I showed a friend the picture of what had been done, and he had no idea what it was or why a keyboard would be colored that way. He'd played both portals more than once. So I'd probably just stick to making cool color schemes personally.

What makes you think the black ones aren't dyed like the yellow ones?
