So in my previous thread, people told me to make my keyboard cheaper by making some parts acrylic. But on BigBlueSaw's website, they have two kinds of acrylic. White and Clear. Clear seems to be a little bit cheaper. Why?
Is one better thatn the other? Stronger? Squishier?
Can I spray paint if I don't like the color of the white/clear acrylic?
How clear is Clear acrylic?

Woah. That's really clear. Thank you. I think I'll go with Clear.

It's a cool look, and if you have any backlighting it can make for a neat effect.
