Hi all

Anyone know of a decent gaming keyboard with WHITE backlit keys?

Getting sick of blue

So the Microsoft sidewinder x6 not for you? its really nice.

The only other KB i can think of with white light ( not key lit ) is the razer arctosa

I'd settle for a LIGHT blue....or a blue that isn't too in your face

I have a saitek eclipse II at the mo and the light is just too over powering....think it's cos it's not each key thats backlit and just an actual light back there

Logitech Illuminated Keyboard has white backlit keys.

Got one myself and I really love it. Keys are more like laptop keys, its quiet and got some nice function keys at the top which can be customised. I haven't had any problems with it. It took a little bit of getting used to but that was because I had a Saitek Eclipse for 4+ years!

the x6 has a dial which allows you to tune the brightness of the backlight keys - but the only thing is its a red light.

^^ Yeah did'nt think of ren's suggestion Logitech totally went blank on me :s

Yeah G19 can

only thing putting me off the G19 is the power plug requirement, think that's a little over the top

I appreciate the input guys, think I'll just clean up my Eclipse 2 and wait until I water cool my pc and need to decide the colour

G19 has white LED keys. Or any other you choose for that matter.

Power plug is to power the screen, and also the USB 2.0 full powered ports on on the keyboard. Why would it be an issue? its a wired keyboard.

i just don't like the idea of more plugs, but if it's worth it then I can overlook it...does look nice on a clean desk.

It does look like a sturdy and decent keyboard, so I'll look into it

What do people have against red lights? all I see is blue. Red lights are cool like a sith lords lightsaber.

Oh one downside is they tend to look pink when exposed to light.
