White Keyboards

[WindyDays]

So IMO white cases and mice look great, but I think their elegance will be detracted if matched with black keyboards and monitors.

White cases are everywhere on the market these days, and whilst you'll be limited in options for white mice, there are still a variety of models to choose from.

However, white keyboards [especially mechanical ones] are practically nonexistent as the only white keyboard I can think of is the MEKA G Unit (Combat White) from Tt esports.

This may not suit everyone's tastes and it certainly does not suit mine, as I am not a big fan of red and I cannot stand the double-row return key and subsequently the (\ |) key being shifted.

Furthermore, it is only available in Cherry MX Black switches (I think) and it seems to be impossible to get your hands on a white model anyway.

Basically, my point is:

1. Are there any other white mechanical keyboards out there?

2. Why doesn't Ducky/Filco or even Corsair (who has white cases and mice) offer white keyboards as well?

Does anyone own a white case/mouse and want other white peripherals?

Note: for the purposes of this thread, white = arctic / stormtrooper white, NOT any off-white or creamy deviations.

Filco used to make a completely white board; however i can't find anywhere that has them in stock / they've been discontinued. I agree that there should be a much larger selection of white boards available, but i guess it's also somewhat down to the OEM board makes - Costar for example, the bodies they produce are predominantly black, therefore to make a white board would cost the manufacturer more and ultimately the end consumer. Have you looked at getting white keycaps? They are easily sourced off of many places, i would recommend WASDKeyboards, i got my set from there and they were very good to deal with and the keycaps arrived within 2 weeks, and, considering i live in the UK, that's very good shipping for second class.

I've considered white keycaps, but I don't think they will look good on a black keyboard body.

Ultimately, I'm not looking to buy a keyboard right at this moment, but I am planning to in the future. It just bugs me how it's hard to match anything other than black (with ___ accents). Not that I don't like black though.

Also wondering whether anyone has a white mouse/case and can make it look like it matches with the other main computer peripherals (e.g. monitor and keyboard).

Could get white keycaps with that. The Filco keycaps should be a perfect fit.

I think black with white keycaps would be the best bet. That way you have more flexibility with what you put on your desk if you are trying to color match. A Fractal case with a black and white keyboard would look really good.

Changed keycaps on my keyboard. White keycaps on a black body red back plate keyboard looks pretty nice imo :D

NCIX has a listing for them now as well.

If you can wait until Cooler Master releases their all white Quickfire TK, you might like it. Check Linus's video on CES with Cooler Master. :D

Any of these boards would be a fine buy, but again, Filco is first choice

Wow great finds and responses, I never knew there were so many white keyboards out there. That Ducky YOTR edition looks especially attractive, but it's just too bad I'll never be able to get one. Other white keyboards seem to sacrifice function for the white aesthetic, and I would personally rather go for function first. Thank you for all of your responses, you guys have really expanded my knowledge about the current market.

I'll keep an eye out for the CM Quickfire in the future.
