White or Black
« on: Fri, 26 September 2014, 21:17:56 »
The Massdrop for the Vortex PBTPOM is up but I'm not sure what color I should buy

Curently using the standard keycaps on a Ducky 9008 with the exception of a POM spacebar

If you're not using white backlight get the white. I think it looks cooler.

My advice is to clash with whatever the base color of your keyboard is (most likely black). I think green backlighting on green keys might look pretty killer. Green LEDs tend to be pretty bright, I think it'll work.

For green backlight i'd recommend black keycaps because think razer (i'm not a razer fanboy, but the green black does look pretty cool imho) white would look to bright i would think

From one of the comments:

"A word of advice, the white keycaps have a significant amount of bleeding, and even more so if you have them on a keyboard with LEDs on the bottom. Had I known this, I would've gone ahead and went with the black ones, which don't appear to bleed at all."

Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?
