I'm looking to buy a blue switch Ficlo tenkeyless as my first mechanical keyboard. Do you guys suggest i get a white or black model? I suppose it all comes down to personal preference...part of me thinks that a black keyboard may get dirty less quickly?

Thanks!

You could always get a pink one.

The Pink one only comes with Browns, not Blues...

The "White" Filcos are actually more of a creme colour.

Hmm good to know! I'm planning to replace the keycaps anyway with a Round 3 set...so I guess I'm wondering what would look best with that grey and black color scheme.

I thought that the case was "pure" white and it was the caps were cream?

edit - At least I hope it is, I wanted to use a white case with my Phantom...

I generally prefer light keys on dark cases, but it can be nice to mix it up. For Round 3 keycaps, either case should be fine. You can see them on both white Filcos and black Filcos if you do a google image search of "geekhack round 3" (without the quotes).

Both the case and the keycaps are the off-white creamy color. I think it usually looks classier than pure white though.

I love my "white" Filco, but there is a "problem" when trying to color-match caps. If you're looking to do some modding, you may want to go with black.

My stark white KBC PBT caps were dirty after 6 months but cleaned up fine.

I can't believe your pic. You must be doing something wrong like not cleaning your hands before using it
