What color case would look good with black on white keys?
« on: Sat, 24 May 2014, 19:41:52 »
Would white, black, or silver be best?

edit: alphas are black on white, mods are black on grey

Depends what color your mods are.

If you rockin black on white everything, I'd probably say black case.  If you got WoB mods, I'd say white or silver case.

I'd say white.
"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

You could go with any color you like really, but a light grey would look especially good.

The dark grey Photekq posted,  plus now that you've mentioned you have grey mods makes me lean again towards black.  Only because Dark Grey is not one of your choices.
