That's what they're talking about: Vantablack
My guess as someone with a 3D printer I have to say most consumer level 3D printers will have trouble printing some of the parts.Hmmmm... if somebody, say, got ahold of the CAD files for the case, how easily could you build your own with a 3D printer? It seems the Pyra would be an ideal candidate for some serious modding. And probably the only way someone would be able to get a tiger-striped case thing going on...

I'm keen to give it a try anyway. Hot pink ABS in a vapor bath for maximum shiny!

So the keyboard is black, white and orange... Any other color than black for gaming buttons would be pretty ugly
The waiting is difficult, but itl be worth it, thanks for the updates.
When it comes to colors, i would prefer Darkblue for the big mould, with black for the small parts and the keymat, and bright blue for the flame logo and the backlight![]()
Okay, some infos about the case and colors.
I don't know yet what exact colors we can choose from (not all are possible, due to durability), but I'm sure we can still get a lot of different colors.
So it doesn't hurt having a lot of ideas here![]()
It will NOT be painted, it will be plastic.
On top of the plastic will most probably be a scratch-resistant coating, which gives the device a slight metallic/shiny look.
Then il settle for white backlight with a blue flame on a blue case with black partsThe waiting is difficult, but itl be worth it, thanks for the updates.

I think part of the reason red is a popular choice is because Pyrrha means red, or something.
You can make the logo blue. The white light of the keyboard LEDs will probably contain plenty of blue, but it will be mixed with other colors. ED stuck with white keyboard LEDs so that a secondary color could be used without the backlight messing it up. It may have been cheaper too. You should be able to swap in some blue if you feel very strongly about it (I wanted red).
