I also like the CM QF Stealth. It is a solid board that provides a great typing experience, especially with Cherry mx greens. The board looks good while looking down at the keys from above, but the font used for the front-printed legends is not my favorite. This board gets compared to the Filco MJ2 Ninja TKL. I own both the Filco and the CM and, between the two, I like the CM QF Stealth better. However, my preference is influenced heavily by performance rather than appearance: i.e., I find the typing experience with green switches in the CM to be superior to the typing experience with blue switches in the Filco. As for looks, the CM and Filco are about equal when viewed from above; from the front, the Filco wins for me, just because of the choice of font on the front-printed caps.

The best part is without the keyboard and muted. ^_^°

Don't resist unless you really want me to also rape you.

Just give me the keyboard.

You know it's getting serious when someone wants to RAPE you, over a keyboard.  Only here on Geekhack and no where else.

Would of been far safer to simply cut his inside leg artery and watch him bleed over the place, then swipe his keyboard when he collapses  8) .

Yes they are, very rare and extremely pricey if and when they're put up for sale.  Still I would rather buy an extra GON keyboard or buy someone's completed Kmac.

A standard SSK would do me very nicely thank you very much.

Ew, what a multicoloured monstrosity.
I find industrial SSKs with blank white and grey keycaps to be much classier. There was one at the DT party...

Other good-looking keyboards:
* Apple Extended Keyboard II.
* Kinesis Advantage
* Any white TKL with the Raindrop set...

Yes, the Tex Beetle was in my short list of the best-looking stock keyboards. It looks great right out of the box -- it is not necessary to replace the keycaps or to add an aluminum case to make it look good.

"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

Cherry G80-1800s IRL are very nice looking. I had never seen any before until I got into a fab and they're all over the place.

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

In person, the best looking keyboard ever has to be the Ducky 78. 

I thought the pictures looked awesome until I saw it in person.  It literally blows you away with awesomeness.  We kept one for the showroom and we constantly get offers for double what it retailed for.  I'll never sell it. :)

Non-Backlit Best Looking goes to the Pro PBT Dark Grey and Blue IMO.  There are some ErgoDox customs that are right up there though.  This one's a little tougher.

The owner of this board escapes me, but this was one of the sexiest boards at Keycon 2013 (photo courtesy of Dianoda)


I just love the CMYK dolch combo on the classic dolch board. Yum.

The new 40% board coming looks like it'll be nice.  Also, the two boards kaliet has made available to geekhack, too.

I'll have to say this is the best looking keyboard...

Either that or this more traditional keyboard...
