Only the blues make a noise when you actuate them.

All the keys will make a 'click' noise when you bottom them out. This is due to the key hitting the backplate. If you're really concerned about noise you have two options :

1) Dont mash your keys
2) Buy some o-rings to place under the keys to damper the sound.

I would say it's pretty bright. Don't really have anything to compare it to though. It's colored like a cheeto.

Keyboards need to last so I want a good quality one.

It's an old post but I fell I need to comment. My WASD keyboard is rock solid, they are actually OEM from company Costar, used by Filco, Das and Rosewill as well.

pretty sure thermaltake uses them as well, I noticed that there are potential cutouts on the back of the casing where thermaltake installs the usb hub and audio passthrough

Hi, I have been looking at these keyboards and through the customer gallery and I'm confused as to how people seem to get symbols that i can't find through the dingbats fonts or normal symbols menu, do they upload a custom design with those on the keys? also i have seen some people put crazy art designs on them do WASD colour the keys in multiple colours or not? Like I saw a keyboard witha black numpad with a jagged white design over it and some keys were black and white, is this done through adobe illustrator and stuff? thanks.
