I know the title may be misleading but what I mean by "combinations" Is like most korean players have black and white checkerboarded keyboards. I was wondering if anyone else has a cool design like that , or has seen something similar.

I was also wondering where I would be able to get a crossed keyboard like that. Do you just buy 2 of the same type and then pop the keys out and mix them around? Or can you buy them somewhere already made.

You'll probably need to buy 2 to be able to do that. Best way is probably to get a friend who is intrested in the same thing and do it togheter.

Koreans do it just because they can mostly. The keyboards most of them use (qsenn dt-35) cost like 5 bucks in Korea and every team have a bunch of them in black and white just laying around so if you have the time to do it then it's NP. I think it's a bit harder to actually get the same keyboard in two different colours to do this at home.

And the coolest style was some dude in BW who had a white qsenn and used 1-0 keys in black and the numpad like a chessboard. That was a bit different. I don't like when the whole keyboard is like a chessboard. ^^

There are some keyboards that actually come with different key cap colors like that.

This would probably work on your board.

Some keyboard companies sell keycap sets. You could buy a black keyboard and a white keycap set, and then mix and match.
This signature is ruining eSports.

Das Keyboard and this.
Same size as the original caps but they dampen the click a little. The pitch is a bit lower.

I have a 7G and just ordered these on ebay [image loading]
il probably get more later and replace every key with blanks, if you look around enough you can find some pretty cool keys, i.e cherry or steelseries logos etc.. ive even seen metal spacebars

yup, went in and say it as auction only startying at 1 buck and it had just nder a day left, ended up paying $1 for the set and 18 for shipping. not too bad since they average like 30$.

But id definitely say to anyone looking to just kind-of get a unique key-set or whatever to spend a while one day just browsing around, i found several different manufacturers, online stores etc and there's some really cool possibilities.

I'm still looking for a way to print "GG" on my blank F10 key. I searched around but couldn't find any companies near me offering custom keycaps.

That aside, a simple tweak you can do to annoy roommates and "protect" your computer is to swap all the key's locations around. Makes it impossible for anyone who can't touchtype properly to use your keyboard^^.

WASD Keyboards (.com) allows you to customize every key of full 104 key set. Just replaced the keys on my Das yesterday!
