Need some opinions
« on: Mon, 22 December 2014, 18:00:22 »
I finally was able to trade for my first clack! Now that I have it I want to make create my keyboard theme around it since I doubt I'll ever be able to get another one.

What would compliment the red and make it pop out?

Here is a picture of my board now.

Your link didn't work buy I assume you have a red clack.. A black keyboard with black keys would've made it stand out really well.

Seems to be very nice already from my POV really nice indeed.
I like the keycaps, hate the clack (they're just not my thing, would have preferred a red esc key or whatever), but looks great.


Those keycaps look like the Realforce Topre keycaps, wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of them to be honest, but for MX obviously.

I think it looks good the way it is, red contrasting the back.

If it were me, I would go for all blank black keys except the clack.

If you are trying to highlight the fact that you have a clack, then you don't want to add any other distractions to the board, you want the eye to go directly to the only thing that is color on the board and that is the clack.

To me black and red goes well together.

"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

Dolch would work, or if you really wanted to make it pop...use blue on white keys.

To be honest I think that it's great at emphasizing the red already..but that doesn't help at all, does it..
By the way nice keyboard you have there. :D
