That keyboard sitting in front of your synth looks like it might do a better job of triggering musical inspiration than my boring black and white unlit keyboard.
Haha, it sounds like you don't like your keyboard! Ever considered gettinga new one?

Yeah, it has sort of a tasteful sci-fi look that I find very appealing. Nothing wrong with the BlackWidow's more traditional design of course, and I have a feeling I will return to it eventually when I get tired of looking at this thing. Call me weird, but I like switching keyboards every now and then.

That is very handy, yes, and much easier than pulling the caps off a rubber dome keyboard. Only thing that worries me is that the keycaps might get worn out by being taken off and put back many times. I mean the +-shaped part of them that attaches to the switch. No fun if they start popping off when you don't want them to!

Same here, I like them much better than any other types of switches I've tried, especially the noisy ones.
