Title: How white are the white Realforce?
Post by: NormaJean on Thu, 19 January 2012, 11:16:51

Hi,

I am considering ordering a nice fullsized realforce from elitekeyboards for my new office setup.

Can someone advise how white are the white Realforce?

I need to know if the white of the Realforce leans more towards beigeish, light grey or Pure unadulterated white.

Thanks :D

Hmmm...

Makes me sad... anyone knows of a very white keyboard, I want the construction quality to be spot on and I would like it to be very fun to type on.

Thank you for the input :D

Ducky 1087 doesn't have the build quality of a Realforce, but they are white, and fun to type on :)

I have a Ducky 1087XM and I don't think I could live with a Ducky board as my daily driver, it is a decent keyboard but it feels a little cheap. The main reason why I was looking at Realforce is because they have one of the nicest look and finish I have seen so far + they stay level on my desk... while I'm still trying to figure out how to keep my ducky from wobbling.

 I'm looking to splurge here... but I have to be able to get the board to Canada

I don't really mind a little ping tough :D
