Does anybody know the history behind them? Why red not purple? Did some historic keyboard have them? Thank you in advance.

They are mostly used on airport terminal keyboards, nowadays. Maybe there are other industry that make use of them that i don't know of. Anyway, each of them of serves as some sort of Fn key combos that are grouped by the colors. The choice of colors... i can only guess, is probably just coz the fact that they are primary colors... which is quite an intuitive choice if you ask me.

here is a pic i took at the airport

The doubleshot version is a custom order by some crazy koreans

Wow, that's actually pretty cool. Thanx. I'm so colourblind it's occasionally embarrassing. lol

I don't know the history, but I want them because I use them all the time as a retoucher, and RGB are the primary colors of light (and the mode I work in most often in Photoshop). Camera sensors have twice as many greens as reds and blues, so it works that the large shift key is green as well.
