confused on the white filco
« on: Fri, 11 February 2011, 02:30:35 »
i've been looking at the white filco's recently and i can't figure out what color it is. i've read that it is a creamy/tan color, but i see pictures of a white white one as well...




did they make the pure white one before and then switch to a creamy color?

im not sure but it could be the illusion of a darker background too. Move your white mouse pointer over both keyboards and they look to be similar shades. Though one does look a little more blue, but that could be due to the white balance of the camera that took the image.

I think they are a little closer to the cream color than the white, but it might be somewhat in between.  They aren't stark white like Macs, though.

The blank white Filcos always look a little clearer than the ones with printed letters. I'm not sure why that is..

They should be a pretty off-white/tan/vanilla creme color.  Here's a PLU ML-87 next to the Filco:  http://geekhack.org/showpost.php?p=281644&postcount=32

From pictures I have seen, the white Ducky 1087 looks white-white.  I think pandaR has one.  If I were to get a white board, I would want it to be snow white.

I have seen the lettered white filco before, but where would I find the blank white filco or ducky?  I have not seen them listed in the wiki, so I am guessing Taobao?
