Classifieds here would be your best bet for the blue set.

Those were made by vortex. Similar but not as good. Those also had mods that were white on blue. (If were thinking of the same set.)

Yes those are from one of my past groupbuy. I plan on doing some more like this again soon... just got delayed with the black PBT sets taking much longer than I had anticipated.

Sometimes you'll see this colorway called olivetti

It's my favorite keyset, I've been trying to find OG olivetti for a long time

I just love the blue on white. Makes it look both modern and yet old school classic.

Could someone tell me what GB these were in, or tell me what these are called so as to look for them in a future GB?  Thanks.

lol haha yeah it's from your first group buy so long ago, the man formerly known as Lysol.  :P

Oh Ki Bored, just be warned.  Filco is actually more like beige than white, so in general it's a bit hard to do color match on keycaps.  You noticed in my picture it's not exact match, though imsto keycaps are actually light grey so it's not too bad.

If you want pure white keyboard you might have to look into Ducky or Rosewill.

As for keycap with blue lettering.  If you don't mind ABS here is another option:  http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/gallery

WASD Keyboards recently acquired the technology to print any color on your keycaps now, so you can really design the color and font you want.  :thumb:

My dream set will be white keycap with sky blue front printing.

KeyCool case is also whiter than white (the original keyCool 87 was, anyway).
"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

Keycool 108 Winter White edition is all white with blue legends. Although the font is a bit iffy.

I've got one, but I bought it from xuanwumen. It was a limited edition but he might have a few left.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Yeah, I saw that on Ali Express  http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-keycool-108-dyesub-winter-full-size-mechanical-keyboard-white-LED-cherry-mx-switches-PBT-gaming/1660856446.html

Not sure if I like that font all that much, or the that hue of blue. The board itself looks nice.

Yeah, that will be from xuan then.

The font isn't too bad, and you can swap the blue keys for white ones that come with it.

I like it :)
