do you type on those or are they some kind of shoe?

they actually double as cutting boards. having two is smart and a great way to avoid cross contamination.

Corsair K95 with translucent front printed black keycaps from maxkeyboard.
The legends are completely unreadable unless the room is brightly lit, which is annoying as hell because the extra G keys on the left make it hard to hit the correct home position for your hands on the first try.

It intimidates and prevents other people from using my computer though which is good.

Corsair ported their RGB software to MacOS, I hope my garish blinged out hackintosh haunts Jony's dreams.
