I meant like after production, we have a lot of work ahead and these kind of things are of lower priority then sending everyone their keyboards.

it will be something like the engraved handwritten names of the team, we have no pics yet. no custom engravings.

I am looking for a product with as good finish as possible. Therefore, I see a risk with a painted surface prone to scratching or peeling. And with a base material in contrasting colour the wear and tear might soon be very visible. yes, but you can order the casings separately later on if you want to replace it

Given this I think the polished white option is the safest bet but it is quite boring. Alumide would be another alternative but all alumide products I have seen so far has had a very rough, uneven, surface texture. we use polished alumide, which actually has a very smooth and metallic surface
