DK1087 White w/ all MX Blue

[exelias]

Does such a combination exist?

[laffindude]

Nope. No white 1000 series, nor white 87key.

there is a white 87 key.

just not in the switches he wants.

i believe the one reaper has is black + blue.


it's also hard to find

[reaper]

Mine has Cherry MX Brown in the main typing area and Cherry MX Blue on the right side (arrows, home, end, page up, page down, etc).  Like demik said, it's getting more difficult to hunt down one of these (w/ white Ninja keycaps below).

I took a switchboard from a black 1087 (all blues) and put it in my white one. Only problem is, the new switchboard is anodized black and the original is a shiny metallic. Minor gripe I know.

Also, nice keycaps reaper

So white boards did exist? None of the usual suspects from Taiwan has any in white. Out of production?

They were a special edition.  The one in my avatar is one <--.  I just put orange caps on it.  They actually aren't that rare, there are a bazillion of them on TaoBao.cn, but getting them is another story.  I don't believe they are made anymore, because now the only white ducky is that year of the rabbit edition (full size).  There must be more out there, though.  And 'Special edition' in keyboard terms just means that they stop making them for a few months and bring them back.  

May I ask what you particular interest is?  If you just want a white board with blue switches, there are a few options, but this one is not one of them.  Off the top of my head, the PLU-87, Filco, Leopold.  I feel your pain though, if its that WHITE white color that you're after.

Woaaaah, that white w/ orange is awesome!
And yeah, I do like the pure(r) white of the ducky compared to the others. And I like that the USB port is off to one side.

Someone needs to do an updated white board comparison.  Somewhere there is a pick showing how the filco tenkeyless became more white in the past year or so, but still not as much as the ducky.  I've noticed some new brands that have crept up with white boards as well.  Nopoo has a full-size, and their mini (which qtan sells) but no tenkeyless that I'm aware of.  here is brand that I haven't heard of before (m.stone?), but it looks pretty white.  Perhaps they have a more compact version.  This pic shows it with blueshttp://iomania.co.kr/frontstore/Item/item_zoom.asp?item_num=1514&catalog_num=&mart_id=iomall&level=&mother_catalog_num=103895
