Colorful switch mount plates are the new trend!

Apparently so.

Even Logitech is doing it!

Does look pretty good most of the time, has anyone (on here) lit up the plate with EL wire? Wouldn't mind giving that a go...

There's probably a market (for gamers, maybe) of a sheet of thin coloured plastic with holes punched out to achieve the same effect as a coloured plate. Steelseries fans would just eat them up.

Guys... I don't know what the big fuss is about - red plastic was scientifically proven to reduce input lag remember?

Is it red or is it orange? Orange is always good.

So wrong /KL...

And yet SO right...

I really like the red plate on my realforce. It's a nice little addition that subtly helps the looks, without being so "in your face" like LED lighting.

i wonder how white would look on white keyboard, it would look awesome

How hard would it be to do a custom paintjob of a metal plate?

Disassembling / reassembling the keyboard itself would be the bulk of the work in painting a metal plate.

For best results, befriend someone that works at an auto-paint shop

Either that, or powder coating would be sweet heh.
