Color Blindness and HP Prime keys color choice

[dbbotkin]

Cursing the darkness vs. lighting a candle

I bought a Prime and also found the keys hard to see in virtually any light, but worse in direct, bright light due to the reflection from the shiny silver killing whatever contrast there was on the key-face.

My solution: remove the silver overlay. Carefully . . .. Cleaning of the remaining adhesive (most came off with the metal) with a toothpick yielded a 100% improvement in visibility.

For those handy with tools, there are more elegant solutions, but the silver is the problem, not the key color.

Note: I can almost hear the marketing meeting; "an all-black Prime looks too much like a TI-npire! We have to distinguish our product; make the bottom half silver!"
