hey guys
I'm currently looking for a full white colored keyboard that is backlit o_o
I can't seem to find one. (The only full white colored keyboard I found were Filco and Leopold and they are both not back lit... )
and after trying numerous switches, I think I like Cherry MX Reds the best..
anyone know of any keyboards like that?
-
RACE LE white version should come with mx red option

Thats the only board I can think of as well, but can't seem to find it in stock anywhere. Maybe on Taobao? Also Reason, did you mean "full white" any size board, or a "full size" white board?

i think qtan has/had it.

Isn't there a white, backlit Keycool?
Edit: I combined this review and the Keycool backlits thread evidently. Sorry.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/KBTalking-backlight-International-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00880IQ6E
! UK though, so shipping might be pretty expensive.
JK.... I'm just full of bad info tonight. I just tried buying one, and you can't have electronics shipped from the UK to the US.

Ducky Year of the Rabbit is all white, but no LEDs.

I think I read somewhere on WASD Keyboard's Facebook page, that they were planning to get their V2 Keyboards with both black and white colour and backlit. But they couldn't get the white somehow so now it's only black and backlit. :(
Btw their V2 is coming out before end of this year. And only white LED as option. I'd actually wait for Thermaltake it almost feel like they'll have a higher chance of releasing a white backlit keyboard. This is from Computex 2012 and it looks like they want to cover all LED colors and all switches. :)

There is only one white tenkeyless backlit board, which is the LE Race.
However, don't get it. It's crap. The white paint of the case comes off by scratching with your finger.
there is none other, atleast tkl, trust me on this...

Keycool 87? Its relatively new compared to the non backlit version, i think taobao has it

Will you be able to configure the Ducky Shine II to be white on white? That might happen.

no white case color available from what I can see: http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/DK9008_Shine2.html
they doo seem to plan other color keycaps, so I guess that's exiciting:

How about putting a ducky shine 2 in a year of the rabbit case?

so I really really like the looks of the RACE Limted Edition white version with cherry MX reds
and these guys seem to have it in stock http://rabbitwebfactory.com
they are a company based in Singapore and I sent them an email yesterday night, and they said they have both the whites and pinks in stock
They responded to me really fast and they seem like a legit company..
but, is the quality of the RACE LE keyboards really that bad?? (was it just bad on that one keyboard or are all of them like that?)
and do you guys think this company is legit? they said they can ship the keyboard to me from singapore for $60 shipping with shipping numbers (for two keyboards)

I've seen a lot of complaints about quality on both the Race and Pure. I've also seen a lot for sale with 10-15 minutes of use it seems like. Of course if you spend $130 on an item and don't like it, you're much more likely to talk about it than if you do like it. You could always get the black Keycool and paint the case if you're worried about spending $130 and not liking it.

They seem legit, and $30 per board with tracking seems fair.

Rabbitwebfactory are legit, but dude, you asked for it:

and yes, more people have reported this:
I got a white one in fengs groupbuy, the paint on the sides of the casing comes off extremely easily.. like I can scratch it off, is this the same case with yours?
-
D:.......... ugh that looks horrific...
Was that group buy quite a while ago? Is there a possibility that they revised the keyboard and improved the quality?
and would there be any quality difference between All-White version and the black/white version post above?
does anyone happen to have all white limited edition here?
-
It's white under the white paint? I was expecting they were cheap and just painted black case from standard edition. But why would they paint a white thing another shade of white, totally pointless.
Also, Ducky did have a white body iShine tenkeyless at one of the tech shows in the summer. Whether they are putting it into production I don't know.
-
That IS an all white version. There is no black-white version. I switched the caps myself.

No its not white, more like dirty white half transluscent default mold plastic color.

oh man.. I guess I'm not gonna purchase one :/
It's gonna cost $139 + $30 shipping from Singapore...
and it seems like a pretty low quality board for that price.

Do you have a link for that by any chance?
