Bronze Keyboard Lighting Problem.

[HeartOFHatred]

I keep reading people posting about the not being able to read the keyboard on the bronze color. I'M not understanding exactly what the problem is. Can someone please clarify what exactly the problem is because I have the bronze on order and will call and change colors before it ships if it is a serious issue.

the people complaining about this are not really experiencing a problem they just want to switch the phone out for a black one or the colorware red one

Do You Have The Bronze One? You Aren't Having Any Problems?

The problem occurs in indirect daylight when the low ambient light tends to reflect off each bronze bronze keys' paint, and as the backlight turns on, the backlight-masked "letter" of each key illuminates, making it a visibly similar color to the reflected color of the low-ambient light-colored keys. The letters and the keys turn each others' colors, in other words.

It's a case of an unfortunate coincidence, but although the keys are impossible to read in these specific circumstances they are easy to read in just about any other light combination. Incandescent, florescent and pitch-black is fine -- it's just that nasty low daylight that kills the bronze phone.

Otherwise, it's beautiful.

What he said ^^

I had the bronze, even installed bodyguardz on it but today I exchanged it for the visible-able (is this a word?) black

Try using the search function before re-posting this topic. It's been talked about many, many times.
Thanks.

I have a bronze keyboard and it is hard to see, unless light is right on it. I don't know about the black keyboard.
