Help me pick a theme ><
« on: Mon, 02 June 2014, 17:59:54 »
So I just got a pimp lil lz alu-skin.
It's gold colored.
I figured i would go with white on red modifiers and red on white alphas (from that recent massdrop).

Then it hit me...That orange crush keyset would look kinda sweet on gold.

So Im' wondering if anyone has any gold toned keyboards and what sorta caps you might have on them.

Oh yeah, this also modifies what BBs i'll go after ><

Thanks,

-Blacke

"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

For gold? If I had a gold board I would want a full set of this...

Too bad it doesn't exist in modern ANSI.

second choice would be


Third choice... just a plain old set of Cherry black on 2tone white/beige.

It's something I would try at some point. But I need to know we can make a successful full set buy with Dolch. If we can't pull it together I won't be trying anything else for at least a good while.

Also I have been contemplating

mashup... as in red legends on reverse white/beige... though Commodore colorway would also look tasty as hell on gold if it existed in modern ANSI.

If you have a gold case, you should go with a full gold set. Be a real pimp.

I think I remember seeing the bumblebee set on a gold GON that was passed around a few times and I thought that looked pretty good...but I'm also weird apparently since I mix red alert with white on orange.

Cherry replica set would look pretty sweet in a gold aluminum case, imo.

I think a lot of sets would look good, even those that you wouldn't anticipate to.  Here's your keyboard with a test fit of DSA Hyper Fuse



Here it was with black Filco keycaps



A classic two-tone beige Cherry doubleshot set would be great or a replica from Originative.
