It's a little hard to compare keyboards like that. What's better for one person won't necessarily be better for the other. :/

^  This.

Some additional information would probably help someone answer your question, too.  Better in what sense?  Build quality?  Aesthetics (subjective)?  Value?  Etc.

better at what?; specifically speaking. I think the white fox may be better at smacking someone in the face due to its longer body which provides additional leverage.

In all honesty, I like the White Fox better but that's because I think it will be better for what I would be using it for.  What are you using it for?  What style do you prefer?  Are you worried about keyset compatibility?  You gotta give people an idea of things like this, because what is "better" is very much subjective.

I prefer the Infinity because it looks far more compact. If you don't use the right shift / OS keys, you can program them into arrow keys.

The WhiteFox is definitely the nicer looking keyboard of the two. That said, I'm partial to the HHKB/Infinity layout, and I think those arrow keys being there would annoy me over time. Also, the latest round of the Infinity "drop" or whatever has some nice looking keycaps, and I like that it's being offered with a case option.

Ultimately, though, no matter which one you choose you're left hanging with a crippled configurator site that Massdrop refuses to fix. If not for TMK's partial Infinity support, my Infinity boards would be useless.

The OP seems legit, it's his follow-up replies that sound disingenuous.

Yeah the replies seem to be written by high school smart asses and no one likes a smart ass.   If you dont like the way I worded it you could just compare the two, which is better between an SUV and a Sports car?  Well an SUV is more spacious while a sports car is smaller and faster, than at that point you could say it depends on what you like without giving a totally useless smart ass post.

You didn't answer a single question that people asked you in regards to clarifying the question you yourself asked.  Even after your snarky remarks and people then asking legitimate questions you just ignored everything, so if you don't want to participate or assist others in answering your own damn questions why would someone else?

Now I understand.

OP, what you want is a Corsair K70 with MX reds.
