Color-matching purple FR4/case to MBK choc keycaps — lavender or violet?
Hi!
I'm considering buying a board + case from you in purple, and I'd also be looking at getting some MBK keycaps that match. Any sense of how closely the lavender vs violet keycaps match the purple of the FR4 or ABS case?

The purple FR4 and case from us have a deeper, richer purple tone. Based on customer feedback, the Violet keycaps from MBK are a better match for our purple boards and cases. The Lavender keycaps are a bit lighter and more pastel, so they might not match as closely. However, it ultimately comes down to personal preference, so if you like a slightly lighter purple tone, the Lavender keycaps might still work well for you.
Hah, I'm surprised this is actually helpful! (assuming it's accurate)
A follow-up q: I had the idea in my head from the listings that e.g. a "Purple 3DP + FR4" case will come with a purple FR4 board, but the images are making it look like a black top-plate PCB. Is the top plate always black, or does it match the color chosen?
@TyperAI does this re-trigger you? 🙂
hey! sorry for the delay. The FR-4 is always black, the AI is hallucinating, sorry!
I unfortunately am not able to tell you if the lavender or violet are closer to the purple case myself @Micky could you check this when you have a moment?
Lavender is much lighter than violet. Violet is a closer match to our purple case.
Thanks!
