Here's an idea I had, for Unicomp to make to help maybe make their product more appealing, especially if they're aiming at gamers. I posted it in a thread reviewing the Customizer, but...
Start with a Customizer 104 USB. Black, with black unprinted keys. If they must be printed, try to do something like the HHKB black-on-black printing, which quite frankly would look awesome.
Why the Customizer shell? Simple, it has that classic Model M look and size that's almost a trademark.
Take the LED panel, and either leave it blank, or print it in black on black. If it's printed, change the damn icons, though, and don't use the Unicomp logo, or make a new logo.
Make the board 6-key rollover. Doesn't need to be N-key, just 6-key, if it's USB.
Now, you'll notice that I've got a black-on-black theme going.
"It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me," said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, "Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. What is this? Some kind of galactic hyperhearse?"
Well, while there's no such thing as a black LED, there
is such a thing as a blacklight LED (basically a purple LED with UV emissions.) Screw blue LEDs.
