Hi guys, as the topic might tell you i'm looking for a white keyboard.
Any suggestions?
Preferably in the MX switch
-
I remember these ones, but there are more.
Filco (http://www.keyboardco.com/keyboard/white-filco-ninja-majestouch-2-nkr-click-action-usa-keyboard.asp)
Key Cool (http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/key-cool/key-cool-84-gaming-cherry-mx-s/lid=36275370)
Leopold (http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/shop-mechanical-keyboard-by-sw/leopold-fc660m-mechanical-keyb/lid=36810036)
Noppoo (http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/item/shop-mechanical-keyboard-by-br/noppoo-mid-87-mechanical-keybo/lid=35017408)

Tanks dude :)
-
Although now that I've seen you're from Denmark you have to check for ISO layout, if you use it :)
-
I got a Ducky i bought in Taiwan, and it's my current KB, i am fine with whatever you guys recommend :)
-
that's jsut racist
-
I'm sorry if your Keyboard feel offended.. :(
-
Or is anyone willing to sell Ducky Year of the Rabbit? :)
-
A few things to keep in mind:
Filco: It's actually beige, not pure white. But it's also the highest quality one amongst that bunch. Personally I own one and like it just beware of color matching later when buying custom keycaps.
Leopold: They have the tendency to use spacebar with weird stem location that doesn't match most common sets. Some custom sets have extra stems so it's fine, but sometimes you'll run into spacebars that doesn't fit.
Keycool/Noppoo: No experience with these, no clue.

Thanks for sharing your experience mate! i really appreciate it since i only got Ducky keyboards, this leaves me a little skeptical when i have to buy new keybords :i

Does the beige Filco match well with the GMK two tone black on beige/white? I haven't found any pictures of this particular combo since I may pick up a second Filco.

these two looks nice. had the backlit version and liked the layout. Wanted to buy one of them with the pbt caps, but my budget is running low, huhu.

Do you need red or black? If you like blues too you can buy mine. I'll let you have it for like $100 + shipping. It's a brand new white Filco Ninja TKL with MX Blue.

I'm a Semi-pro Sc2 player, i got blacks now, but i would literally like to try a blue one i've heard from my friends they are the best :)
EDIT: not the best, but good!

I was editing as you wrote :(

Leopold FC700R also comes in White. 700R comes with PBT caps too, which many people like.

The FC700R is an awesome board. I have one with Browns and the it feels soooo smooth. It's actually the favorite board I own right now, probably until I complete my KMAC. Highly recommend! Although I'm not sure where you'd get one...I think HendyZone stocks them but he's out of stock for browns. It is also real white unlike the Filco ugly beige.

Blues aren't the best for SC2 tbh. I used to play SC2 quite competitively as well at high masters level and blues just never did it for me. The weird actuation point just makes it harder to double tap and stuff.

I also own a 700R like goobus (Graphite color with MX Blues) and I'm a big fan. I wrote a review on it (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41048.0) if you or anyone else is interested in my thoughts on the board. HendyZone has some for sale in the Classifieds last I checked. Pictures can be found in my review as well.

Well if you're or were in the same situation as me, what switch would you prefer? :)
I read about the brown being excellent.
-
Omg, the camo majestouch is cool too
-
Well if you have the opportunity to try it would be great! Im pretty sure you have Media Markt and thats a good source for testing switches! If you cant, I would recommend blues!

If you ask 10 GHers what switches they like, I bet you'll get like 8 different answers. It's all personal preference. Best way to figure it out is to try some if you can. My personal preference for MX is a tie between Whites, Greens, and Blues.

If you're using blacks and you're happy with them then you can consider some of the stiffer switches that have some tactile/clicky feedback like clears, whites, and greens.

That could be an idea, i might just step by the local gamestop or something to try some keyboards :)

KeyCool white is whiter than white - not off-white at all.
There are reviews of a few of these in the reviews section.

I think the QFR comes in greens, but not sure where you'd find clear or white switches to try at all! I think one of the Ducky boards also comes in dark grey switches, which are like black but stiffer.

Any Links to the Keycool KB you have there? :)

I got mine from qtan: http://www.vendio.com/stores/E-sports-Gaming-equipments/
Doesn't look like he has any in stock at the moment, but you can PM him and ask.

If you'd like a Clear board, qtan (keyboardwow.com (http://keyboardwow.com)) sells a Leopold compact layout (65%, I think), for $120; White boards are rare, but you could get a Vortex Race with whites, however, wherever I look they're all sold out.

Banggood has KC 87 in MX Clear, but let me warn you, their free shipping takes about a month.
Also check out keyboardco.com. They have a huge selection of Filcos.

Try this before you move on to what you want next, if you don't know about switches. You're probably better off going with the No Keycaps option, unless you can do something with them or actually want them.

WASD are generally very good, yes. Although some disparage their keycaps.
WASD also has a vendor forum here for more direct contact.
