Transparent Keys vs

Solid Color Keys

Transparent Key Example

Translucent Keys are a frosted clear key that allows backlighting to shine through the sides of the keys. Choose a background color to print with any text, design or logo. (Not limited to the colors in photo, we have full CMYK printing)

Why Choose Translucent keys?

Utilize backlighting

Lots of background color options

Uniform look between keys

Examples of Translucent Keys with backlighting off, blue lights only, Red & Blue lights, and red lights only.

Transparent Key Example

Mix and match our Solid Color Keys. Choose from 9 options: Black, Gray, White, Green, Blue, Light Blue, Red, Orange and Yellow. Print any color text, design or logo. (Not limited to black and white text, photo is for contrast reference)

Why Choose Solid Color keys?

Not using Backlighting

Only need a few color options

Better distinction between keys

Examples of Solid Color keys with and without backlighting. To maximize Backlighting, choose Translucent Keys

Backlighting still shines through the mask. The mask helps the red and blue light from bleeding onto the adjacent keys.

Custom Programming

Have your X-keys pre-programmed with hardware mode that stores the information directly on the memory of the keyboard, which means you don’t even need to download any software. Just take it out of the box, plug it in and start using it right away.

Send us your programming file or tell us what macros you want for each key on your X-keys keyboard. We also offer the option to password protect it to prevent unauthorized modification to the programming.

For more information on our custom programming options please reach out or check out our software pages.
