What color of keycaps should I get?
« on: Wed, 25 April 2012, 10:22:11 »
Hey All,

Just bought a CM storm with cherry mx blues~  While its shipping.. I really want to buy a set of blank keycaps!  So, I'm looking at WASDkeyboards.com, and I'm trying to decide what color(s?) to get.  I was set on a full set of blank greens, but now I'm wondering if I won't get tired of so much vibrant color. The rest of my setup is black.

What do you think :)?

I like light/pastel colors. But almost everything looks good.

Welcome to Geekhack (since it's your first post) and how about white on black?

Thanks :).  I do really like the white on black, but unless I vinyl-wrap the keyboard it would be white on gray :/.

Yeah, I do like pastels also - where could I get a set of keycaps with lighter colors?

WASD yellow is somewhat muted, otherwise there is occasionally pink and mint green on taobao, or you could go for a set of the rainbow jellies...

I think blank blacks look really great. But be you must know that you will see the shine really fast on blank blacks ! I believe black is the color that shows the most the shining, and on blanks, its even worse !
But if you dont care about the shine, or maybe you actually like the shine, never mind, it wont be an issue :).
