Post by: thatsmrdoctortoyou on Wed, 06 April 2016, 17:33:20: Definitely like the looks of both versions. If we are talking white versus black with printed legends, I would say black. However, if the poll were for white versus black with blank keycaps, I definitely would choose the white version. White HHKB with blanks just looks so clean IMO.

Black is only the better option for caps with legends because the legends are so ugly that if you're going to have them you need to try and conceal them.

But in reality white hhkb is the one keyboard to rule them all.

White with blank/printed black keys. Word to storm troopers.

It's a similar story with the Realforce keyboards but not quite as noticeable.

Post by: derb2k2 on Wed, 06 April 2016, 21:33:42: i'll go with black just because it's just as sexy as white HHKB but blends in nicely with most computer hardware. Adidtionally, I guess it looks more professional.

Post by: lootbag on Wed, 06 April 2016, 22:14:50: I have never owned a white on white but I think I would prefer it.
Received my first HHKB with white keys on black case and never looked back.
Title: Re: [POLL] White HHKB vs Black HHKB
Post by: iLLucionist on Thu, 07 April 2016, 07:31:20: I like the looks of the black more (Darth Vader Look^TM). But I like the feel of the caps on the white more. It feels a bit less grainy and more soft.

Black with white printed keys.

This. Every time I see a black HHKB with white printed keys, I get the urge to spend hundreds of dollars. . .

Black on black or Black non-printed is my preference. White is too retro looking for me.

Well... my desk and my speakers (yamaha hs5) are white so my white kbs fit nicely. Though I'm also guilty of owning and using a black hhbk (or gray) and "black" 87u 55g

Curious peoples thoughts on one color versus the other....i'm sort of split personally.

I made the mistake of getting white HHKP 2. This is the main reason why it's in the drawer and not in use now. If I had a choice, I'd get black. Reason is white doesn't match with anything in my room. It doesn't match with my computer case, monitors, mouse.. my table.. it just looks totally awkward and it's quite distracting to have such inconsistency in your creative environment.

I can imagine... Also, the white is not "white". It is more gray / beige. The KUL ES-87 "smoke white" is actually really white.

Nah, the white is whiter than gray and beige. More like a cream.

There is currently no better looking Keyboard out there. The only better looking keyboard ever made would be the one that came with the Apple macintosh, the first one:

Title: Re: [POLL] White HHKB vs Black HHKB
Post by: AverageHybrid on Thu, 07 April 2016, 23:22:20: I'm actually pretty on the fence for this one, I own both the white and the black and for me PERSONALLY both has pros and cons example being the white would yellow over time which I personally don't like but some people like it as it makes it more unique to them. I have the white blanks on my white HHKB now and the white printed on the black HHKB and I think this looks the best and I even have the red/blue control/esc pack on them, as you might have seen from the HHKB Pro 2 thread. I think the white looks ok with stock white printed keycaps and white blanks. As for the black I think most of the combinations look ugly except for the white printed caps on it, there's just something about the two-toned color paired with the fine black printing that goes so well with the black hhkb, I'd say the black blank + black does come in as a runner up in terms of looks.

Yeah ok. But my point is, it is not clear actual white. Far off from it.

White on black is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! I had a white HHKB and I always had its blank caps on my dark HHKB with the red Esc key. Sick! :thumb:

But you could swap white keycaps onto black board, or vice versa, which would be 2 additional options!
