White colors of Realforce 103U's && HHKB
« on: Thu, 13 January 2011, 23:53:59 »
Anyone own both? I've been kind of curious to see if the white colors (in real life) of the two keyboard's keys similar? or different? Elitekeyboards has nice pictures, but my HHKB don't seem to look like what I see on my monitor.  I don't have it color calibrated, so maybe that's why.  

But the question, in essence, is are the "whites" of the A-Z keys the same on both? Or one is more white? LOL

RF103U Link: http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=topre_keyboards,realforce&pid=rf_se0200

Please! Only people that owns both at the same time should reply, as I don't think just looking at the pictures on EK will show the real difference between the colors.

I own(ed) both. I'll find a picture of the 103U in a second.


Not sure how color accurate that is, but it's in sunlight with the best camera I have access to.

Well, that's a nice picture, but do you actually recall the colours between the two when placed next to each other? If the white buttons are actually similar, or different?

The white looks pretty identical to me too. Comparing printed and blank makes it a littler harder but I couldn't tell them apart if it wasn't for the printing...

The grey on Realforce is considerably more retro though.

Yeah, I actually never compared them side by side, but they didn't look too different
