wish i could paint lol

[Das Mustafah]

My suggestion: All black, and the escape key dark red.

[ShineyThighz]

i have an idea that would involve no talent whatsoever, but it's going to take me awhile to do, becuase i have things lined up that i need to do before that :S i'll try to get it done though

- p.s. thats a nice keyboard i have those at my school, the keys depress smooth!

[Das Mustafah]

I love it, but it sucks for FFR because of some internal wiring issues.

Describe your idea and then work up a graphic for it later?

[funmonkey54]

I believe that you should paint the regular letter keys black. The F1-12 keys along with the esc, Prt Scrn, Scroll Lock, and Pause Break keys should be the dark red/maroon. Dark green would be used on the number keys, ctrl,alt, space bar, tab, caps lock, and shift. The insert, delete, home, end, page up, and page down buttons would be white. The arrows and the secondary number pad would be orange. this covers all of the keys.

I believe that the base should be a chrome if at all possible as well.

[TD_lonewolf01]

maybe you would like something like this? all keys the dark/maroon red and the base color dark grey. you can change the color to your liking, this is just a little 10 min thing i came up with on PS. hope you like it =]

[Das Mustafah]

I'd give you the values of the colors, but I'm too lazy to figure them out. The general color is good enough, but ultimately it depends on the colors that the paints already come in.

Starting off good.

[Mezo]

lonewolf's design was my starting design and I find it to be simple and quite pleasing to the eye .

here are a few variations:


here's a gaming design with the keys highlighted that are most used by gamers... I think. I mean those are the main keys I use and I saw those keys highlighted on another gaming board I saw.


here's one with alternating orange and red stripes in a diagonal pattern.


and here's my favorite. its a sort of gradient starting from a dark bottom, blending into a silver, then red, then lighter orange top.

lol, this was fun. there are so many designs you can come up with, simple or complicated

I was tempted to do sum sort of smiley pattern, but I thought it would be look kind of wierd or be distracting

[Das Mustafah]

Those look great, Mezo.

On that last one, did you mean to say silver? I see purple.

I'm not a huge gamer, but I like the concept of the first one. Reminds me I need to update the original post...

[Mezo]

ohh, it shows up as dark silver to me... but i guess it is sort of purple lol... i guess my screen brightness is lower than yours... or I am color blind on noe

[LLaMaSaUceYup]

Awesome Mezo

[Das Mustafah]

I'll pretend it's silver I might like the second one the best, out of the three.

[Problems]

sick idea, i like this one.

[funmonkey54]

This is a color variation of Mezo's. I just thought the colors should be changed up a little!

[Silvuh]

Vowels are maroon, consonants are orange, symbols are green, numbers are silver, function keys are black, escape is maroon, like buttons on either side (shift, ctrl etc.) should be the same color... And I just messed around with the other parts.
If you want more definition on the right side of the keyboard, I could change some colors around over there. Like... the enter being a different color or something.

[Das Mustafah]

Those are awesome, Silvuh and monkey.

Silvuh, did you mean to leave the case unpainted?

[funmonkey54]

THANKS! I really want those credits!

[SC_coolguy44]

ok heres mine

the image wont show up but what it shows is a yellow keyboard with colourful keys such as many shades of blue, red, purple and pink and some other colours i forgot about

[Silvuh]

Oh, hahaa, I completely forgot about the case.



How about that: black with a darker maroon through the center.
And I made the right enter key green and the right 0 silver.
Edit: Oh, and, it's not in the image, but I decided to make the NumLock key black.

Edit2: Should this be in the 32-Bit RBG section?
