    Question Razer Arctosa Silver Keyboard - Color on the buttons?

    Alright, so I'm looking for a new keyboard to buy (not now though, later on...), and I've kinda settled on the one mentioned in the title, http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...oryId.35156900.
    I love the design, the size of the buttons, the color, however, I'm posting this thread to ask if anyone has this keyboard (or has knowledge of it), so I could ask them just one question:
    On pretty much all pictures, it seems that the buttons aren't actually completely black, but they've got faint spots of silvery glimmer. Don't know how else to describe it, but it kinda reminds me of how some plastic figures were made in the 90's, they had the same surface as this keyboard looks like it has, maybe someone remembers them? It's very clear in this picture: http://www.phoronix.com/image-viewer...ctosa_left_lrg
    Now, what I actually wanted to ask, does the keyboard actually look like this, because I absolutely dread this type of design, just seems so cheap...
    Anyways, anyone have knowledge of this?

    the buttons are black but the letters are in silver. I use the Razer Lycosa keyboard. More expensive but you get really nice backlit keys and its great to type on. I've been using it heavily for the past 6 months and no problems. Be careful about spilling anything on the keyboard however. I spilled a small amount of soda onto the keyboard and now my alt key is a bit sticky. Other than that this keyboard is the best one I've ever used by a mile.

    Are the buttons really completely black? It just looks very much like they have this silvery surface, especially in my second link

    Yeah, that's what I thought as well when seeing a picture that's taken from a distance, but when seeing pictures that are token from up-close, it just really looks like it is the plastic it self... And that's why i'd love for someone that has they keyboard/has seen it irl, to confirm what it actually looks like:P

    It indeed looks like that, I'm using that keyboard at the moment.
    I think it's a fine keyboard, it's nothing special but the keys aren't too hard nor too soft.
    The buttons are a little smaller than on my last keyboard which took a while to get used to.
    It kinda looks cheap but it certainly isn't fragile.

    Had no idea bumping wasn't allowed O.o..

    Anyways, thanks mate, quite the answer I was looking for - however, don't the silvery buttons "annoy" you? Not that they affect how it feels to type, but if it's as clear as in the picture, I would be get really annoyed by it..

    If it annoys you to a point where you don't want to purchase it, or you'd regret your purchase, you should probably buy a different keyboard.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823109191 -- That's the keyboard I use. It's cheaper [in price] than the Razer, and has a bit more functionality. But, most importantly, it doesn't suffer from silvery keys. :P
