Hello all, I was wondering if anybody has seen a half decent white (or white and aluminum) mechanical keyboard. I have seen the ducky shine 4, but it doesn't seem to be selling in white anywhere anymore. I've also seen the Year of the Goat Ducky, but that seems unavailable as well. Correct me if i'm wrong. I would also prefer RGB backlighting, but white or blue would be fine as well. Must be Cherry MX or at least similar. Thanks for the help! :P

to be honest, the best idea is to get a black rgb keyboard and set the leds to white.  doesnt show stuff and looks good

You wont find any "big brands" selling them in white, but if you want white and dont want some cheap off brand keyboard, your best bet is to wait for a corsair keyboard to go on sale, and get white keycaps for it, it will be the same price as buying one for full price.  Check stores like best buy, they will pricematch with amazon, newegg etc. and they have a corsair keyboard on sale almost at all times.

So how hard would it be to paint a k70 and put white keycaps on it?

Well I personally wouldn't because I am a bit of a klutz, But if you really wanted to paint it it shouldn't be to hard, you would just have to cover up everything you don't want paint on.  Keep in mind, IT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

I looked it up and it seems that it looks quite good with just white kaycaps added, without being painted. A few people have done it. Many keyboards actually look really good with just adding white keycaps. except for blackwidow ultimate, sadly :(

I'd do that, I't wont void the warranty, and it will still look nice

If you want to do more, you could put white paper or something underneath the keycaps to reflect the colors more

I have the k65 and I did that so the colors look brighter
