Post by: platon on Fri, 27 August 2010, 03:26:24: I have many black keyboards. They can get pretty dirty too if I don't clean them, usually from dust. I tend to keep the keyboards I like clean.

There's a process called "cleaning" that prevents this. I use it all the time on things that I don't want dirty, and it seems to work pretty well. You can use it around the house, too. I "clean" things like the kitchen counter tops, floors, and even the bathroom.

It's an absolute revolution in living. It has, literally, changed my life.

Depending on what kind of filth you're talking about, lighter white/off-white/clay/neutral keyboards hide dust and grime better than black does.

Post by: ktkr on Sun, 31 October 2010, 09:18:40: Will you be getting these boards with blues? What about blank (incl. smooth Windows keys) keycaps for white boards?

I'm dreaming of replacing my Das with an all white tenkeyless with blues. It looks super slick! I'd so buy one. ;)

Post by: Fwiffo on Sun, 31 October 2010, 11:15:23: Now that I think about it, a white otaku tenkeyless would be a wonderful target for a rit dye mod... Good thing they don't stock them at elitekeyboards; I don't have money to drop on another keyboard right now.

Post by: Bruce on Sun, 31 October 2010, 12:12:16: These were a special edition kind of thing so there is no telling if or when there will be more.

Post by: Fwiffo on Wed, 24 November 2010, 20:14:50: Honestly, I think the Filco white otaku tenkeyless is the most beautiful keyboard ever made. But white doesn't go with any of my other computer equipment or furniture.

Post by: WhiteRice on Wed, 01 December 2010, 16:02:00: I did some research if Keyboard Co. gets them in stock it would be $178 shipped to the US.

In comparison ordering from China using a Taobao buying agent it would cost $184.

*sigh*

Post by: synerr on Wed, 30 October 2013, 12:37:58: Any thoughts 2 years later on this keyboard? I am in the market for a compact-ish keyboard (preferably white) and would like to hear your thoughts 2 years later. What material are the stock keycaps?
