Title: White or Pink Full Size Keyboards
Post by: mashby on Sun, 17 March 2013, 12:18:16
I'm not looking to buy one this second, but my wife just informed me this morning that she misses the tenkey on her keyboard since I upgraded her to the KBT Race S (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mashby/sets/72157632249976584/). Since she likes both pink and white, I thought I'd see what was out there in a full-size keyboard with those colors.

Below is a list of what I've found thus far. If you know of any others, please let me know.

Pink
- Filco Majestouch-2 Limited Edition (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=4543907557)
- Zowie Celeritas (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823826002)

White

What can I say, other than great minds think alike.  :))

Of course if I get her a white board, I'm leaning more towards a Tiffany Co., color combination (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39239.msg813019#msg813019), but with white modifers.

Nice! I actually really like that Tiffany blue color. Oh, and to add to your potential keyboard list, there's an all white Leopold FC700R.

Yep I'd say this is the best looking all-white keyboard :D

I love the look of pink keyboards and I'm a guy. Is that wrong? Haha

I am also interested in what other pink keyboards there are.

I think keycool has a pink kb. Soo does... plum?

I'll have to look those up. I didn't see a full-sized KeyCool in pink, but I'll keep looking.

Tte Meka G1 Combat White edition

Meka G-Unit exists in white (the same kind of white as MS Natural Keyboard Elite if you know what I mean) as well. Not saying it's a good keyboard.

I didn't see that Dante had updated his post, so thank you for referencing it!

I've updated the list from everyone's feedback and thanks again everyone for helping me put this all together.

Don't forget the Metallic pink (http://www.amazon.com/Filco-Majestouch-2-Metallic-Keyboard-FKBN87ML/dp/B0060J3Y6C\) & lotus edition filcos!

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61TS3ZxqXYL._SL1200_.jpg)

And the Ducky year of the rabbit edition, which is one of the few keyboard cases that actually comes really close to being pure white.

Those are both great looking boards, but I'm looking for a full-size.  :(

No worries. Since you posted photos as well, that'll come in handy for someone looking for a pink board and isn't looking for the ten key.  ;D

Maybe you could just get her a filco numpad? That way she can just keep the Race.

I suggested that, but she didn't like all the clutter on her desk.  :rolleyes:

Thanks for suggesting the Ducky Year of the Rabbit. Totally forgot about that one.

Also, it looks like MK.com is getting the new white Ducky board with the pink key caps in April (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/incoming.php)!

Oh man that Tiffany keyboard looks nice!  I better hurry up and do a group buy so your wife can get one!  It was my idea after all.  :))

Here's what gave me the idea:

(http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o580/eth0sz/TiffanywithBow.jpg)

Anyway, you should get a white Filco full-sized for your wife, for that Tiffany set 'o keycaps that you will be able to buy someday soon (lulz).

But, in the meantime, and you should get this pink one for yourself, urm, I mean for your "wife":  :))

These days you can be a manly man, and still have a pink keyboard.  Even one with a rainbow.  Here's mine:

Yes, I TOTALLY got that idea from you and I can't wait for you to start a GB for it!  :p

Right now I'm leaning towards the new Ducky DK9008 Shine II  (http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=323), because if I got a Filco, it would probably be a TKL and I'd want to use it.  :))

That is the manliest rainbow I've ever seen!

LOL.  Aww shucks, I'm wearing a pair of bib overalls right now, with no shirt, ofc.  And I'm going bear hunting with a BB gun, while drinking a 6-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, and I'm bringing this rainbow keyboard as well.

But seriously, that Ducky is super nice.

However, I think I like the TKL metallic pink Filco better.

But they're both great, so get them both!  :p
