Title: white 87u on EK
Post by: Namkung on Mon, 02 April 2012, 22:52:46
Looks like EK now has 87U in white (variable only)
looks considerably more white than the "regular" grey/white 87u (not just the caps but also the board itself)
very tempting...

It's the same white keycaps if you were to buy a white keyset

I was tempted to buy this too since a keyset is $110 and a keyboard is $299

putting the two 87Us side by side , they made the whiter one look MUCH whiter..

Damn if they had 45gram option I would be all over this. I would put the dark gray mods from my 104pro
