Keyboard Color Schemes
« on: Thu, 16 March 2017, 08:08:35 »
I'm thinking of trying a case paint on a rosewill that has mango orange PBT front print caps. Currently I'm thinking of just some sort of grey so other caps will work if I want to change it up. What do you think about my choice? What is your favorite colour scheme for a keyboard? Been enjoying the forums so far, Shoutout to anyone who has helped me :).

Now, if you were a full turbo encabulator, you'd avoid bizarre confusion over the spelling of the word "colo(u)r" …

I spell it both ways randomly. Don't know why. Heard about the new Rockwell turbo encabulator having reduced side fumbling?

OP probably just a retro encabulator.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

My preferred case color is white, mostly because the majority of my custom keycap sets only look their best on a white keyboard.

However, other case colors are ideal for certain other keycap sets: black/dark gray, tan, blue.
