Welcome fellow Canadian! Be careful with your wallet once you lurk enough, you may crave more caps and boards than you ever though possible :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Nearly 3 months ago - how have you been finding it?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Welcome to GH!

Like everyone else said staff away from the classifieds otherwise your wallet will hate you.  As for the white keycaps get PBT, they are more expensive but last longer than ABS.

burr... ah... welll... remember the PBT white blank caps they're selling are usually KBC made, which means they're not a PURE white, it's a BLUE/VIOLET shifted white...

A more neutral day-light white, can be had from WASD keyboards, they are however ABS, but that's fine since bright colors offset shine.
