So recently I've been looking into either buying two of the same keyboards (one white and one black) or painting one keyboard to make that awesome checkboard looking keyboard that we've all seen MarineKing and IdrA at MLG using. My concerns are: A) I can't find a keyboard that comes in white and black (the only one I've found so far is the qsenn dt-35 at starcraftmecca, but those are 30 bucks each and a little more than I would like to spend) and B) If I paint my keyboard how much will that effect the feel of the keys? I have a junk keyboard that I'm gonna try and test it on in the next couple days. But, if theres anyone in the community that has the same design or has ever done something like this I would appreciate any feedback!!

Thanks

If you can get 2 samsung DT-35's they sell in white and black edition and are extremely common among korean progamers.

Wow I really fail at reading op's. Sorry lol.

I wouldn't paint your keys. It will drastically alter their feel.

The DT-35s are awesome, but outside of Korea, yes, they're expensive. ):

here is the design I came up with for my Cherry mechanical keyboard (blue switches). Highly recommended. Dt-35 just doesnt cut it once you have been with blues or even browns.

dt35 is just some standard keyboard lol... bw progamers use it because it is the same keyboard in all the pcbangs because it is cheap. same thing for the logitech optical mini

may as well just get a random dell keyboard, if u want alternate colours for ur keys then what people do is buy 2 of them same keyboard in 2 different colours and just pop the keys out and make a pattern

I know. I want to avoid buying a DT-35 if I can, the problem is that it seems like there are almost no keyboards here in the US that are made in both black and white.

I wouldn't suggest painting the keys. It will change the feel and also probably feel a little bit stickier then usual.

I wouldn't paint the keys as it's hard to make it look good and it would probably change the feel of the keys and it could wear down after some time. Also it can be a lot of work too.
When i was buying my 2 keyboards the white one had a red Cyrillic alphabet that had to be removed .
I think even if the design varies a little - like additional multimedia keys or some something, as long as it's from the same line of products, the keys should be compatible to switch.

This is how my (now old) keyboard look like.

Inspired by (P)JangBi's keyboard, back when he was a fearsome dragon >:3 (he had a more chess like setting thou).
