Folks over at Diatec obviously started consuming various drugs, their new product comes with this.....interesting colorscheme:




Rest is nothing special, scissor switches, yadda yadda.
Probably one of their company internal bets. "Hey, close your eyes and pick three random colors in photoshop. If we still manage to sell the result, you owe me 2000 yen!"

Purple WASD is harmless.

But this board in all purple and neon green? Ouch.

I ordered those key caps as I ordered my keyboard. They do NOT look like that marketing photo. The best way I can describe those key caps, is Christmas color Red and Green. Let me re-attach them and i'll show you guys a real life pic.

Das Keyboard took a bad pic?  They shoulda used a German Leica (probably one made in Portugal like the Das is made in Taiwan from a company in Austin, TX with a German Marketing Director wife of the CEO).


I wouldn't say they took a "bad pic", more that the item is incredibly difficult to photograph. I've attempted a number of times to replicate their real life color with the photographed color, and its quite a difficult task. I've now broken out the SLR and Flash unit to try and get accurate pictures. Bare with me, i'll get this. =)

Reminds me of the VLocity, all that purple with a little bit of green.
"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

Dude I would totally use those keys. It's like a novelty key set rather than a single cap. Though it'd probably get old pretty fast.

I'm a huge MH fan. Back in middle school I tried to play MHFO but after a week of trying to get by with guessing I just gave up. I heard they're bringing it to NA, but it's going to be on Xbox.

Yeah I also tried playing MH:FO, but it's such a hassle.
Also, recently it looks like they have rejected the idea of bringing it to NA/Euro on XBox, as they have mostly stopped updates in Japan for that console. Instead they are mainly focusing on the PC version in the Land of the Rising Sun. So our best bets are hoping that they will localize it for PC.

And here are some more Purple and Green Pictures to keep you occupied in the mean time:
