Multi-colored audio-touchy keyboards

[Greg Zeng]

"Noisy Keyboard" (freeware) version 3 provides the audio part (Windows 95/98/me).

Use of the hot-melt glue gun provides the touchy feedback.

But coloured nail polish is what my visitors notice: pink, yelow, red, blue, green, gold, yellow, black, purple, light & dark variations of all these colors, and the poka-striped combinations of these on some keys.

The large keys (space, Enter, grey +, Shift, caps-lock, tab - are sometimes done with colored paper-tape.

The idea is that in low light, or in the periphery of my vision, or when I am tired, or when I am tutoring anyther person who is seated directly at the keyboard (the kb is not in front of me), the KB is less error prone to use.

Any comments?

Is so, I'll attach photos, and other stories with this; I've been doing it to many KB's in the last 15 years.
